Dentistry is not one-size-fits-all
In our experience, dogma – the habit of doing things simply because “that’s how it’s always been done” – is often in direct conflict with whole health. Dentistry is not one-size-fits-all. Your history, biology, lifestyle, and goals are uniquely yours, and the care you choose should be unique to you. At Blodgett Dental Care, we reject rigid, protocol-for-protocol-sake thinking and instead practice a humanistic, biologically informed approach that centers on you as a whole person.
Care That Starts With You
Every treatment conversation begins with your story: the goals you want to accomplish, what you want to feel and experience, the function you want, and the esthetics you desire. From there, we create a customized plan that balances your priorities, clinical findings, budget, and timeline. We explain all pros and cons transparently so you can choose the path that aligns with your values—whether that’s the most conservative option, the most durable, the most aesthetic, or a stepwise plan that honors both your health and your life circumstances.
Education Over Prescription
We believe informed people make better health decisions. That’s why we invest time in education before intervention. We review imaging, photographs, and written summaries together. We translate complex topics into plain language and encourage questions until you feel clear. When you understand why a recommendation exists, you’re empowered to say yes, ask for alternatives, or pause – and that autonomy is essential to true, lasting health.
Biologically Based Options
Biological dentistry isn’t a trend; it’s a commitment to thoughtful, evidence-informed choices that respect your body’s innate intelligence and immunological function.
- Biocompatible materials: Whenever possible, we favor materials with excellent tissue response and low reactivity, and we discuss testing options if you have sensitivities or complex health histories, such as a BioComp dental materials analysis.
- Sound, research-based protocols: From surgical techniques to restorative methods, we use protocols designed to minimize toxicity, reduce inflammation, and support predictable healing. That includes meticulous isolation, precise digitally guided planning, and stepwise safeguards that prioritize your long-term wellbeing. Advanced techniques and technologies such as 3D Cone-Beam CT scans, Intra-Oral scanning, Dental Lasers, Air Abrasion, alongside centuries-old healing techniques such as Ozone Application, Homeopathy, and Neural Therapy ensure your most positive health outcomes
- Optimal nutrition and lifestyle: Your mouth doesn’t exist in isolation. We discuss nutrition that supports remineralization, tissue repair, and microbiome balance, as well as habits that protect the work we do together. When appropriate, we collaborate with other health professionals to support systemic healing.
Minimally Invasive, Maximum Integrity
Doing less – skillfully – is often the most advanced care. We favor approaches that conserve tooth structure, calm the nervous system, and reduce post-operative complications. When comprehensive treatment is indicated, we plan deliberately so every step supports your future options rather than limiting them. Precision matters, and so does restraint, wisdom, and experience.
Partnership, Not Paternalism
Our role is guide, not be your gatekeeper. We share what we see, what it means, and the safest, most effective routes forward based on your goals and values. You decide the pace. Together, we’ll align treatment with your goals—comfort, function, esthetics, performance, longevity, or all of the above—without pressure or fear tactics.
A Better Standard of Care
Rejecting dental dogma isn’t about being contrarian. It’s about being accountable. When we choose materials for compatibility, follow protocols grounded in sound research, and support your biology with nutrition and education, outcomes improve, and so does your confidence in the process of your own healing. If you’re ready for dentistry that treats you as an individual and honors your whole health, we would be honored to partner with you.
