About Integrative Dentistry
Integrative Dentistry is a fluoride-free, insurance-independent practice in Encinitas, California, built around single-column scheduling so that appointments are one-on-one rather than double-booked. The clinical posture is conservative: restorative planning prioritises preserving natural tooth and bone structure, amalgam is not placed, and tooth-coloured composite described by the practice as metal-free and BPA-free is used instead. Fotona laser technology and ozone therapy are integrated selectively into restorative preparation, root canal protocols, periodontal support and post-procedure healing, rather than offered as standalone treatments. Preventive care is education-first, with hygiene intervals set by individual caries and periodontal risk. Patients commonly present for root canal therapy, safe amalgam removal and restorative work planned around long-term oral-systemic health. Clinicians here are recorded with the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine.

Common Questions
How are laser and ozone therapy actually used during treatment here?
They are adjuncts, not standalone services. Fotona laser technology supports periodontal and soft tissue work and may be used extraorally or intraorally for patients with TMJ-related tension or difficulty staying open. Ozone is applied as water or gas after extractions through coordinated care, during root canal protocols for complex canal systems, and in deep decay where the aim is preserving the tooth. Each case is evaluated individually and these tools are used only where they add value.
Does this practice place amalgam or metal restorations?
No. The practice states it does not place amalgam fillings, using tooth-coloured composite materials described as metal-free and BPA-free instead. Preparation is kept conservative to retain healthy structure, and laser and ozone therapy may be incorporated during placement to support disinfection. Patients frequently seek the practice out specifically for safe amalgam removal alongside restorative care.
What does the practice's approach to root canal therapy involve?
Root canal therapy is one of the most common reasons patients travel to this practice. The described approach is a middle-ground one that prioritises preserving the natural tooth and surrounding bone while addressing infection through careful protocols. Laser and ozone therapy are integrated alongside specialty care to help disinfect complex canal systems and support the durability of the result.
What happens at a first visit?
The first appointment covers a full series of low-radiation digital X-rays taken with a Nomad system, a review of medical and oral health history, and a detailed head, neck and tooth-by-tooth examination with intraoral photographs. Findings, photographs and images are reviewed directly with the patient, and the visit closes with a conversation about why issues may be occurring and what a conservative path forward could look like.
How does a fluoride-free practice handle prevention and periodontal risk?
No fluoride or other topical agents are applied to teeth. Prevention relies instead on education, hygiene frequency and understanding the root causes of decay. Patients with higher caries risk, bone loss or elevated inflammation are often placed on three- or four-month periodontal maintenance intervals rather than a standard six-month schedule, with care focused on managing bacteria below the gumline. Oral cancer screening of the soft tissues, head and neck is part of routine preventive visits.
