Welcome to Flossologie! We're glad you chose us—it's a choice that puts your dental health in excellent hands. Our philosophy is centered around providing you with an inviting and relaxing environment, where preserving your natural tooth structure is our top priority, along with ensuring your comfort and well-being. Here you will find a judgment-free zone, while experiencing a fun and relaxed environment.
Biomimetic Dentistry
At Flossologie, we practice biomimetic dentistry, a cutting-edge approach focused on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Our fillings are more than “just fillings”—they are fully bonded composite restorations. This approach offers significant advantages, including reducing the need for root canals and crowns. In fact, we only place crowns on permanent teeth when we are replacing an existing one. Biomimetic dentistry offers numerous other advantages, including reducing the need for invasive procedures, minimizing the risk of future dental issues, and ensuring long-lasting results.
Traditional dentistry can only bond to enamel: the most outer layer of the tooth. We can bond to both the outer and the inner layer (dentin). This method allows us to treat your teeth in a way that mimics their natural form and function, providing a fully sealed restoration, and protecting your dental health for years to come.
Holistic Dentistry
We are also committed to holistic and functional dentistry. Our exams are very thorough, as we take the time to understand your overall health and how it impacts your dental well-being. We offer fluoride alternatives, custom home care plans, airway evaluations, amalgam removals, etc. We strive to reverse cavities and other issues whenever possible, focusing on prevention and preservation to maintain your natural smile. Rest assured that we take our time for each exam to talk through all options and answer all questions that you might have.
Stress Free Appointments
At Flossologie, we specialize in creating a stress-free experience for patients with high dental anxiety. Our appointments are designed to be longer, allowing ample time for breaks so you never feel rushed. For those with sensitive teeth, we offer the option of using warmed water and ultrasonics during cleanings, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. Our treatment rooms are equipped with heat and massage chairs, providing an extra layer of relaxation, and you can enjoy your favorite shows or movies on our TVs with streaming services. To help you fully zone out, we offer Bluetooth headphones so you can immerse yourself in a calming environment. We never push you through any part of your visit—at Flossologie, you dictate the pace, and we work with you to make your appointment as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
For those extra anxious patients, we offer both Nitrous Oxide (“laughing gas”) and IV sedation to help patients stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.
Slow Appointments
You may notice that our work is a little slower-paced than what you might be used to. This is intentional—we take the time to meticulously plan and execute each treatment, giving your teeth the care and attention they deserve. We believe that by working carefully and thoughtfully, we can achieve the best possible outcomes for your smile. We use proper isolation for all our restorations to ensure a contamination-free working environment, gold standard bonding agents, and build up each layer of the restoration with materials that have similar physical properties to the tooth structure that it is replacing. This keeps our restorations lasting much longer than your traditional fillings and crowns.

Our Philosophy at Flossologie
Kid Friendly Edition
Welcome to Flossologie! We're glad you chose us—it's a choice that puts your child’s dental health in excellent hands. Our philosophy is centered around providing your little one with an inviting and relaxing environment, where preserving their natural tooth structure is our top priority, along with ensuring their comfort. Here you will find a judgment-free zone, while experiencing a fun and relaxed environment.
Holistic Dentistry
We are committed to holistic and functional dentistry. Our exams are very thorough, as we take the time to understand your child’s overall health and how it impacts their dental well-being. We will talk about remineralizing teeth (including fluoride alternatives), custom home care plans, airway / tongue tie evaluations, diet, etc. We offer nano-hydroxyapatite varnish as an alternative to fluoride varnish during cleanings, along with a cavity reversal option for those annoying small cavities.
Stress Free Appointments
At Flossologie, we specialize in creating a stress-free experience for all patients. Our treatment rooms are equipped with heat and massage chairs, providing an extra layer of relaxation, and our patients can enjoy their favorite shows or movies on our TVs with streaming services (Hulu, Disney Plus, Youtube, etc). To help your kids fully zone out, we offer Bluetooth headphones so they can immerse themselves in a calming environment. Parents are welcome to stay with their children throughout the entire process. If your little one is small and nervous during their initial appointments, you can even lie with them in the chair for added comfort. For anything that might involve numbing and drilling, we offer both Nitrous Oxide (“laughing gas”) and IV sedation to help patients stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.
***If your child has certain sensory preferences, please let us know ahead of time so we can accommodate as best as we can.
Our Treatment Options for Kids
Our treatment plans prioritize conservative approaches when it comes to addressing cavities, aiming to reverse or stop them rather than immediately resorting to drilling and filling. For beginning stages of cavities, we might recommend a cavity reversal peptide as an alternative to “watching.” For small to moderate-sized cavities, we offer Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) and its fluoride-free alternative, Silver Nitrate. These treatments involve applying a solution to the tooth for just one minute to halt the progression of cavities. For larger cavities, we provide Hall Crowns, which are stainless steel crowns that cover the tooth without the need for drilling or numbing.
We also specialize in biomimetic dentistry for baby teeth. This advanced bonding technique eliminates the need for crowns and significantly reduces the likelihood of baby root canals and fillings falling out. During your appointment, we will take the time to carefully review all available options to ensure the best care for your child’s dental health.
**Please note that while we offer a wide range of services, we are not a pediatric dental practice. For certain procedures, we may refer you to a trusted pediatric dentist to ensure the best care for your child.
