One Loose Tooth offers an array of different orthodontic techniques from traditional BRACES to INVISALIGN to functional appliances. When we see children during crucial developmental stages, we are able to course correct along the way to possibly even prevent the need for braces, or set them up for faster and more reliable orthodontic treatment.
Holistic dentistry, also known as biological dentistry, takes into account a patient's entire state of physical and emotional health as it relates to oral health. We know a beautiful, healthy smile is very important, but we also know that poor oral health can have a huge negative impact on the body.
Dental amalgam fillings, which are made with a mixture of mercury, silver, copper, tin, and sometimes zinc, are still used in the United States and a number of other countries. Often called "silver fillings, " all dental amalgams are 45-55% elemental mercury. Mercury is toxic, and this poison is recognized as a chemical of major concern because it poses a dangerous threat to public health.
Placing a dental "filling" after a cavity is removed is one of the most common dental procedures. Due to the demand for better esthetics and safer material, silver fillings are not commonly used anymore. Silver fillings, also known as mercury fillings, contain ~50% mercury. Mercury is a neurotoxin that even in very small amounts can cause much damage.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help reduce a patient's fear and anxiety during dental procedures. Sedation dentistry can come in many forms, from medication you swallow before the procedure to Nitrous oxide ("laughing gas" or conscious sedation), or general anesthesia in the hospital known as "sleep dentistry".

My son and I absolutely love Dr Keith and the staff. They're very kind and informational. Most of all, they're unlike some other dentists who overbook themselves and rush procedures encouraging laughing gas and sedation. 3 other places strongly recommended my son to be sedated for cavity treatments. Dr Keith and his team didn't even have to use laughing gas to get 2 crowns, 1 filling and disking done all at once. We felt never rushed and Dr Keith and staff went over treatment plans with us thoroughly and didn't mind explaining the procedure options multiple times. Dr Keith even called in the evening

Easy to schedule over the phone, compassionate staff, and gentle, effective office procedures. Only 1 of my 3 boys has been treated thus far but as a first time patient Levi had quite a mouthful, and still had a positive experience. The other 2 can't wait to go back for more video game time 😄 if it works, it works!

The team at one loose tooth always makes my son feel super comfortable. They are amazing at answering all of my insurance questions and always so friendly. Dr.Keith is so kind and really great with the kids. They all make such a great environment that my child enjoys going to the dentist. I also appreciate that their pricing seems very fair. Obviously this also depends on insurance but it's nice that they make it affordable for kids who need work done.

I cannot reccomend One Loose Tooth enough! The staff and dental team are unlike any other! Our previous dentist wanted to put my 4 year old under anesthesia for the work she needed done. I did some research and found one loose tooth was natural and does not sedate children. Dr. Keith and his team got all her work done in 2 visits!! We are so so pleased and will stick with them until the end!!

My daughter needed a lot of work on her teeth and one loose tooth has held her hand through everything. They explain everything down to the detail, always available if you have any questions and all of the staff is genuinely kind. Dr. Keith even called after her procedure to check in on my daughter to see how she was. 100% recommend to everyone.
