About
Our New Patient Experience
We welcome you from the initial phone call and booking, through the entire new patient experience, where we spend 2 hours, doing a CBCT 3D x-ray, a full health history review, meridian analysis and a wellness scan of your bite. Then we take intra-oral photos of all of your teeth, a microscope analysis and salivary diagnostics, as well as a full interview, to make sure we are addressing all aspects of your health, and ensuring you are comfortable during treatment. This includes reviewing with you our comfort menu, and all types of sedation or anti-anxiety options to further enhance your experience in our office.
Whole Body Health
While many dentists look only at the teeth, a holistic dentist considers the patient’s overall health and wellness when treating teeth.This means using materials that are safe for the body, removing toxic materials when they pose a risk, using superior diagnostic tools, and promising new science for even better decontamination.Who wouldn’t want that?Dr. Nicole Vane was one of the first dentists in Encinitas to embrace holistic dentistry, and continues to provide expert holistic care to her patients.
