We Don't Perform Root Canals We Offer an Advanced Alternative
Have you been told you need a root canal? The truth is, most dentists continue to perform this dated procedure despite its risk of negative side effects. Our holistic dentists don't perform root canals but offer pulpal regeneration, an advanced alternative that's better for your overall well-being. Our dentists can help you make an informed decision about what's best for your body and health.
A Closer Look Root Canals vs. Pulpal Regeneration
Root canals have been performed for decades without many other good options. However, given advancements in dentistry, we can work with the body's innate healing ability to calm inflamed nerves instead of killing them.
Root Canal Therapy
- Radiographs of root canals only show changes in ligament or bony structure. They cannot show bacteria that can accumulate and cause serious, chronic, and even lethal diseases.
- There is a high probability of needing re-treatment.
- It is physiologically impossible to kill all of the harmful bacteria inside a tooth.
- Bacteria can continue to thrive in an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment.
- The tooth is essentially taxidermied. All previous vital tissue (blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics) is removed and replaced with a type of rubber.
- The tooth becomes a dead organ with no blood flow. Any area of the body without blood flow cannot rely on the body's natural defense (the immune system) to protect it. Without the body's ability to protect itself, disease-causing microbes can establish themselves outside the reach of the immune system.
Pulpal Regeneration
Pulpal regeneration harnesses the body's ability to heal and regenerate damaged nerve tissue so the tooth remains alive and vital.
The procedure prioritizes whole-body health.
It has few to no side effects.
It incorporates cutting-edge techniques like ozone therapy.
Pulpal regeneration uses your body's own healing power to eradicate infection.
The treatment only involves biocompatible nerve-friendly materials.
It heals rather than removes dental pulp.
The procedure protects the tooth with porcelain-based fillings and restorations.

Pulpal Regeneration A Cutting-Edge Approach to Restored Health
In contrast to traditional root canal therapy, pulpal regeneration is designed to heal an infected nerve. 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 our Post Falls, ID, team for your treatment, we’ll first thoroughly clear areas of decay. We will then use a combination of ozone, specialized dental lasers, and red light to clean 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 initiate accelerated and improved 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. We only use nerve-friendly materials and porcelain-based restorations.
During the pulpal regeneration procedure, we'll apply a combination of ozone, specialized dental lasers, and red light to clean and heal the inside of the tooth. Then we'll use biocompatible nerve-friendly materials and porcelain-based restorations to strengthen the tooth.
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.
Safely Removing Root Canals
If you've had a root canal, research has found there can many "hidden" microbes not visable on radiographs, whether from mold, viruses, amoebas, or anaerobes, all of which can have serious effects on your entire body's health.
We use a special technique to safely remove root canal treated teeth and strengthen the area using your own body's healing capabilities. Similar to pulpal regeneration, we'll apply PRF, ozone therapy, and laser treatments to the extraction site. New bone and gum tissue can be regenerated in just three months–substantially faster than traditional grafting techniques.
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, implants stimulate the jaw to halt the bone loss tied to missing teeth.
More thank 95% of dentists use titanium implants, Titanium can cause many health problems and many people also have metal senstivities as well. We ONLY use ceramic implants. Unlike metal, ceramic dental implants:
- Will never rust
- Don't conduct electricity
- Won't oxidize
- Don't have free-floating ions
Are a true biomaterial, creating cellular attachments with our oral tirrues, truly integrating into our jaw. 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.
