Air Filtration - IQAir

Air Filtration - IQAir®

Our IQAir® filtration units are on at all time in our office so you can feel safe that we are greatly reducing aerosol levels, bacteria colonies, and airborne viral particles to almost zero. We have specially designed units in our treatment rooms with attachments that can filter these harmful particles and pathogens before they have a chance to spread.

The IQAir® HealthPro Plus was the only air cleaner used to protect hospital workers from the deadly SARS respiratory epidemic in Hong Kong.

Ozone

Ozone

Ozone has the ability to kill viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens. All of the water used in our treatment rooms is infused with ozone. Not only does this ozone water eliminate biofilm in the water lines, it also eliminates pathogens during treatment.

Ask us about Fygg at your next dental hygiene visit.


How are these holistic dental procedures

Any different than conventional dental treatment?

No toxic materials or chemicals are used.
 

No dangerous metals, like mercury or nickel or beryllium, are used for restoring your teeth (except 100% titanium implants). NOT ALL implants are titanium!

We have no fluoride, fluoride treatments or fluoride products in the office. Fluoride is not used for children or adults during their scaling and cleaning. No toxic cements or old type of metal crowns are used; only white bonded safe materials are used.

I remove the old, toxic, leaking metals from your teeth WHILE PROTECTING YOU from the released metal vapor.

Your overall health is protected with nutritional supplementation. “State of the art” high-efficiency air cleaners are used to remove the harmful mercury vapors released when your old mercury fillings are removed!

My wife and I recently switched dentists going with Integrative Dentistry. Our approach is very much in alignment with their’s and it’s been a wonderful experience. Dr. Deforno and his entire staff are professional, knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. We highly recommend them.

Everyone was very kind and helpful. Dr. Deforno took a ton of time to review the dangers of mercury and fluoride. He also talked about how important nutrition is for dental health and the oral microbiome. I really like that he takes pictures of what he is seeing so when discussing the treatment recommendations you can see what he is seeing in your mouth! It felt like chatting with a friend and I’m glad I found this office!

I highly recommend this dentist! Bio-dentistry is good for your whole body. They have ALWAYS had air filtration (for years) and an easy test to see if you have Mercury in your teeth. Over twenty years ago, I paid a fortune to have all my many Mercury fillings removed and replaced with a safer filling. It turns out, a lot of dentists don’t know how to completely remove Mercury fillings. I was shocked to discover I still had Mercury in my mouth. They are so mindful here.

I had to cancel due to injury while de icing my car. I know from family and friends how great they are. If you have silver fillings they are 50% by weight mercury and need to be replaced in a safe environment. Normal family dentists shouldn't do these from vapors everyone would get. I do have to much mercury in my body from them.

FAQs

1What is integrative dentistry and how does it work?
Integrative dentistry focuses on the connection between oral health and overall health. It combines modern dental treatments with a whole-body approach, considering factors like biological materials, inflammation, and how dental care affects the rest of the body to promote lasting wellness.
2How is integrative dentistry different from holistic dentistry?
Integrative dentistry and holistic dentistry both consider the whole person, but integrative dentistry uses evidence-based dental science while prioritizing safe materials and overall health. It blends conventional care with health-focused practices rather than rejecting mainstream treatments.
3Is integrative dentistry safe?
Yes, integrative dentistry is safe for most patients, including adults and children. Dentists carefully select biocompatible materials and tailor treatment plans to individual health needs. Safety protocols and individualized care help support both oral health and overall well-being.
4Who is a good candidate for integrative dental care?
Good candidates include people interested in overall wellness, those with metal sensitivities, patients seeking biocompatible materials, or anyone who wants dental care that considers whole-body health. Your dentist will evaluate your needs and medical history to determine the best approach.
5Does integrative dentistry use traditional dental treatments?
Yes, integrative dentistry uses traditional dental treatments such as fillings, crowns, and preventive care. What makes it different is how treatments are chosen and delivered, with attention to biocompatibility, health impact, and individualized patient needs.
