What is a Biological Dentist?

A biological dentist is concerned about the materials used within the mouth and within the dental practice.

Dr. Kerbs uses only the safest materials in dentistry. He uses bio-compatible materials in all of his restorations and does not use metal in any of his restorations. Dr. Kerbs feels that all materials used in the mouth should not only be safe, but also function well and look natural.

Dr. Kerbs practices biological, conservative dentistry. This is an integral part of his practice. Dr. Kerbs looks at the treatment plan for his patients seeking to conserve as much tooth structure as possible in order to keep the teeth healthier for life. Conserving as much tooth structure as possible, allows the teeth to stay stronger over the years. Often times Dr. Kerbs is able to do a filling or cosmetic bonding rather than a crown, in order to save tooth structure. At times when a crown is necessary, Dr. Kerbs does a conservative preparation of the tooth, removing as little tooth structure as possible.

Dr. Kerbs uses ozone in all aspects of his dental procedures. Dr. Kerbs uses the latest laser technology with his Fotona ND/ER yag laser which provides his patients with better healing times and less invasive procedure options. Dr. Kerbs caters to nervous patients with his complimentary comfort menu, ask our team about all of the free comforts available to make your visit as comfortable as possible.

Looking at the overall picture, is very important to Dr. Kerbs. He analyzes the way the mouth functions as a whole, including the teeth, gums, bone, TMJ, muscles in the head and neck and the way the teeth meet and bite together. Dr. Kerbs recognizes that the mouth is connected to the body and that there is a direct link to the mouth and the body’s symptoms (the systemic connection). Dr. Kerbs and his hygienists focus on health and prevention in every aspect of their practice. Conservative dental techniques have been achieved from thousands of hours of continuing education and accreditation with leading associations in holistic and cosmetic dentistry. It is Dr. Kerbs goal for every person to achieve and maintain health for life.

Escondido sedation dentist, Dr. Jeffry Kerbs, knows that dentistry has the tendency to stimulate fear, nervousness and anxiety. Dr Kerbs and our team have done everything possible to eliminate this in our dental office. Everything that we offer to eliminate stress and anxiety is completely free to our patients. We want our patients to experience the best that dentistry has to offer while in complete comfort.

Dr. Kerbs has been through training on sedation dentistry and is able to deliver this to his patients safely and effectively. Sedation dentistry allows for fearful patients to receive the dentistry that they need in complete comfort. Sedation dentistry works by having the patient take a prescribed pill prior to coming into the office. In this way, sedation dentistry starts working even before our patients reach our front door. Our patients come to their appointments already feeling relaxed and comfortable. During the visit, nitrous oxide is used alongside the prescribed medication for a magnified effect that allows our patients to receive their needed dental care in complete comfort. Conscious sedation dentistry allows our patients to continue to respond to Dr. Kerbs during treatment without feeling fear, nervousness, anxiety or pain and our patients have little to no recollection of their visit afterwards. Our patients say that they almost feel as if they were sleeping during their treatment.

Our office is centered around our patient’s comfort. From the moment you walk into our office you will notice the atmosphere is different from that of a typical dental office. We have low lighting, peaceful music, fresh flower arrangements and candles. When we bring you to your room, you will be seated in a massage chair, offered a paraffin hand treatment, a warm neck wrap, a blanket and noise canceling headphones with your choice of Pandora music station. With sedation dentistry and all of our added comforts our patients rest peacefully through their appointments.

Sedation dentistry allows our patients to comfortably experience everything from a dental cleaning to more extensive treatment. Don’t let fear and anxiety keep you from experiencing the beautiful and healthy smile that you deserve. Sedation dentistry is the answer to overcome fear and move forward toward health.

AND REMEMBER! Dr. Kerbs offers sedation dentistry and all of our comforts at no charge. He doesn’t want anything to stand in your way of overcoming your dental fears. If you have any questions please call our office today, our team is ready to help. 760-746-3663 We can’t wait to exceed your expectations!

“I do so enjoy being cared for at the dental office of Dr. Kerbs. Jenae, in particular, is my dental hygienist and I feel so relaxed and safe as she explains things as she goes along with my cleaning. She teaches me how to take the best care of my teeth on my own too, so that I can stay healthy in between my visits. Of course, the massaging chair and lavender neck wrap tops off my special visit to the dentist. Thanks for everything!”
