Gateway Oral Health Center offers comprehensive services for every family member at every stage of life. We apply biological, natural, holistic, and functional dentistry principles to all services. So, while our team provides 360-degree services, we are much more than that. In your search for a “dentist near me in St. George, Utah, who is accepting new patients,” we urge you to consider more than convenience (the proximity of the office to your home). We also urge you to think beyond the available range of services. Many general dentists may offer preventive, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry procedures but do not view these services through a holistic or biological lens. With this distinctive approach, we support your oral and overall health and function in at least three key ways. 

1 – You can trust that all dental materials used and applied at our office are safe. 

As authentic biological dentists, Drs Bryce Eagar, Matthew Geddes, and Andy Mohlman only place tooth-colored, mercury-free composite fillings. Due to well-documented risks of toxicity associated with mercury-containing amalgam (“silver”) fillings, we replace these restorations with safe and attractive composite resin fillings. For those with new fillings, amalgam has no place at our office due to the known health risks of mercury that accumulates in the body via this filling material. We also have considerable safeguards to minimize mercury exposure while removing and replacing amalgam. Beyond fillings, we also offer ceramic implants as an alternative to conventional implants made from titanium metal. These high-performance ceramic materials are safe for all our patients, including those concerned about sensitivities and adverse reactions to metals. They also promote your health, partly because ceramics do not corrode like metals. 

2 – Our services transcend caring for the health of the teeth and gums. 

We are always accounting for the connections between the health of the mouth and the health of other structures and systems of the body. As such, we provide services that cannot be found at other dentists’ offices. These services include airway-focused dentistry and sleep dentistry. Sleep apnea is to blame for persistent headaches, memory and cognitive impairment, unexplained fatigue, mood changes, and more symptoms that have a tremendous negative effect on your quality of life. Though these concerns seemingly have nothing to do with the mouth, sleep apnea is rooted in the tissues in the throat. When these tissues become overly lax (during sleep), they may partially or fully block the airway. This condition affects your sleep quality, can lead to the symptoms mentioned here, and is also associated with many serious complications due to the stress that a lack of oxygenation can have on your body over time. We get your health back on track with therapies to promote quality sleep and healthy breathing.  

3 – We bring a natural touch to conventional treatments. 

Unlike other dentists’ offices in St. George, UT, and beyond, we protect, restore, and support the sustained health, function, and beauty of your smile with various services, technologies, and procedures. However, grandchildren and grandparents can benefit from our unique “adjuncts” or “helpers.” We may incorporate ozone therapy for gum disease treatment. This time-tested, natural therapy unlocks your body’s capacity to repair and regenerate. It also does so in a gentle manner. Often, we get great results without prescribing medications with undesirable side effects. 

Of course, this is just a quick glimpse into how we support your total health and the total health of family members with diverse needs. To get the full picture, schedule your visit today by calling Gateway Oral Health Center at (435) 656-0255.
