Functional Dentistry, with an Integrated Focus on Oral and Overall Health.

Apex Dental is a leading functional dental practice. Rather than simply drilling and filling teeth, we strive to identify and address the root cause of dental disease, which often relates to other health conditions. 

We believe in recognizing and correcting the root cause early and effectively. Nutrition, airway, and breathing are the cornerstones of oral and overall health. Diagnosis of pathology from dental decay to TMJ disorder includes a screening of and conversation about the root cause behind it.

Your dental health and complete satisfaction are our ultimate goal. We are incredibly grateful for the positive feedback of our amazing patients.
