the Center for Dental Wellness
Conservative Root Canal Treatment
In contrast to traditional root canal therapy, we perform pulp regeneration therapy and nerve-saving procedures. This means we can save the tooth, and it’s still alive.
Data-Driven Holistic Dentistry
We understand that many people are skeptical about alternative medicine. Rest assured that our holistic dental solutions have been extensively researched and are backed by science and grounded in results.
Biocompatible Materials
Once we've removed bacteria from your tooth, we can place a biocompatible filling to reinforce your tooth. We'll always try to save your tooth, but if it can't be done, we can place a ceramic implant.

A Cutting-Edge, Holistic Approach to Root Canals
The biggest difference between traditional root canal therapy and our treatment is that we focus on saving the nerve, an important component for strong, healthy teeth. In other words, your tooth will still be alive after we treat it. We’ll perform several steps to clear harmful bacteria from the inner chamber of the tooth and protect your smile:
Disinfect the Tooth
When you choose us for a Root Canal in Post Falls, ID, we’ll first thoroughly clear areas of decay. We will then use a combination of ozone, specialized dental lasers, and red light to sterilize the inside of the tooth.
Promote Healing
Our dentists believe using your body’s natural ability to heal itself is a powerful tool. We’ll apply platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), containing white blood cells, growth factors, and platelets, to calm inflammation and encourage healing.
Protect the Area
The last step consists of protecting the treated tooth. We’ll immediately place a biocompatible filling to keep the tooth clean and sterile. In some cases, we’ll also place a dental crown during the same appointment to complete your treatment.

Advanced Technology
for More Precise, Effective Results
- Our cutting-edge approach to your care begins with treatment planning. Our doctors use 3D cone beam X-rays for the most comprehensive view of your tooth, its root canals, your jaw, and other important structures.
- Our Post Falls dentists often use surgical microscopes during the procedure as well, ensuring they can completely sterilize even the smallest spaces within your tooth and minimize the risk of complications.
Should I Just Have
the Tooth Pulled?
Extractions at our Post Falls office are specifically holistic extractions. This means we’re focused on getting to the root cause of your concerns rather than just making symptoms, like tooth pain, go away.
While we might ultimately recommend an extraction for you, it’s always preferable to save your natural teeth. Even a single missing tooth can lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, changes to your diet, and more. Our dentists will do everything they can to save your tooth and provide you with conservative, holistic treatment.
Biocompatible Solutions
for Missing Teeth
If we do perform an extraction, in nearly all cases, we’ll recommend a dental implant to replace the tooth. Like natural tooth roots, these surgically placed posts stimulate the jaw to halt the bone loss tied to missing teeth.
While many implant dentists use titanium posts, we prefer zirconia, a type of ceramic, for its numerous benefits. Unlike metal, ceramic dental implants:
- Will never rust
- Don't conduct electricity
- Won't oxidize
- Don't have free-floating ions
Additionally, we’re mindful of the fact that many patients at our Post Falls office have sensitivities to metal or simply would prefer not to place it inside their bodies.
