What makes our comprehensive dental exams different from standard checkups you might have experienced elsewhere is our whole-body approach to dental health. Rather than just looking for obvious problems like cavities and gum disease, we investigate how your oral health connects to your overall wellness.

We evaluate your bite relationship and jaw function to identify signs of grinding, clenching, or TMJ issues that might be causing headaches, neck pain, or premature tooth wear. Our airway screening looks for indications of breathing disorders that could be affecting your sleep quality and general health. We assess the health of your gum tissue not just for signs of gum disease but also as a window into potential systemic health concerns.

This integration of dental and medical approaches allows us to catch potential problems years before they would cause noticeable symptoms. Patients often express surprise when we connect their morning headaches to nighttime grinding, or their chronic fatigue to possible sleep breathing issues detected during their dental exam. By understanding these connections, we can develop treatment plans that address root causes rather than just treating isolated symptoms. This comprehensive approach has helped countless Lakewood families achieve better health through improved dental care.

Welcome to Balanced Dental Studio, located in Lakewood, Colorado. Our dental practice embraces a holistic approach, prioritizing the overall health of our patients. As functional dentists, we go beyond the surface and delve into the root causes of dental issues, ensuring durable solutions.

While maintaining good oral hygiene through practices like brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and regular cleanings is crucial, they may not always address the underlying reasons for problems such as tooth decay, misaligned teeth, and bad breath. These issues can often be traced back to airway obstructions, overcrowding in the mouth, and narrow dental arches resulting from habits like mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing.

By focusing on functional dentistry, we aim to identify and resolve the core sources of dental problems, thereby preventing future issues and enhancing your overall quality of life. Our mission is to help you and your loved ones regain the confidence to smile, breathe effortlessly, and enjoy improved well-being. We offer comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages, ranging from preventive cleanings to advanced procedures.
