Biological Dentistry in Centerville, OH
A biological dentist is a general dentist with the same training and credentials. Like a general dentist, Dr. Linty offers core dental services like cleanings and fillings, works to prevent disease, and is dedicated to relieving pain and restoring function.
The distinction is that biological dentistry is tuned to the interconnected relationship between oral and overall health and its impact on the entire body. What happens in the mouth doesn't always stay in the mouth. Dr. Linty seeks to understand the root causes of dental issues, educate you on holistic health awareness, and treat you using safe and biocompatible materials.

Therapies in Biological Dentistry
If you're unfamiliar with holistic or biological dentistry treatment methods or benefits, here are a few of the therapies we offer:
Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a form of oxygen, and we use ozone therapy at our practice to treat various dental conditions. It is especially effective in disinfecting tooth cavities and treating periodontal disease while reducing cold sensitivity. By applying it directly to the affected area, ozone therapy promotes faster healing and reduces the need for more invasive treatments.
Biocompatible Materials
General dentists use a wide range of dental materials. They may use mercury-amalgam fillings or fluoride treatments as standard practice. At Ohio Holistic Dental Center, we use calcium phosphate, a fluoride-free alternative.
We use only metal-free composite fillings, and Dr. Linty is trained to safely remove and replace your amalgam fillings if you desire.
Airflow Biofilm Removal
Airflow biofilm removal, also called guided biofilm therapy, uses air, water, and fine powder to remove dental plaque and stains from teeth gently. This process doesn't involve scraping teeth with metal tools, so it's comfortable and perfect for those with sensitive teeth or dental anxiety. Airflow treatment is quick and efficient and can significantly improve gum health without discomfort.
Microscope Plaque Check
A microscope plaque check uses a high-powered microscope to examine dental plaque samples. Using this technology, we can identify specific bacteria and microorganisms in the mouth that may contribute to tooth decay or gum disease. Dr. Linty can tailor a more accurate and effective treatment plan for your unique needs by analyzing plaque at this level.
Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART)
Following the SMART protocol for removing mercury amalgam fillings, we minimize mercury exposure to patients, dental staff, and the environment with protective equipment and specialized filtration systems.
HR5 Salivary Testing
At OHDC, we use HR5 salivary testing to evaluate the presence of the top five pathogens that put you at high risk for gum disease, infection, or inflammation. Based on the findings in your saliva, Dr. Linty will customize your gum therapy for more accurate treatment and healing and to help decrease harmful bacteria in the mouth. Once the gum bacteria are healthy, you will feel healthy, too.
Laser Tongue and Lip Tie Release
Tongue and lip tie release procedures correct oral tissue that restricts lip and tongue movement. By gently using a laser to release these ties, we improve eating, speaking, and breathing. These procedures are especially beneficial for infants having difficulties breastfeeding and for reducing sleep apnea episodes in adults.
NIGHTLASE Snoring treatment
This non-invasive laser treatment reduces snoring by tightening tissue at the back of the throat. The procedure enhances the airway’s size, helping to minimize sleep apnea’s effects and decrease vibrations that lead to loud snoring. Our leading-edge snoring treatment typically requires no anesthesia, and you can resume your usual routine immediately afterward.
Photobiomodulation of TMJ
We use photobiomodulation (PBM therapy) to treat TMJ disorders with the healing power of light. This non-invasive laser therapy reduces pain, eases inflammation, and promotes tissue repair within the jaw joint to enhance mobility and comfort.
