If you’ve been searching for a more complete way to care for your teeth, gums, and whole health, you’re in the right place. Functional dentistry in Boise isn’t just about drilling and filling—it’s about understanding how oral health impacts your entire body. At Boise Integrative Dentistry, we go beyond the surface to give you care rooted in total wellness.
We know that visiting the dentist isn’t just about checking for cavities. Your mouth is deeply connected to systems like digestion, respiratory health, immune function, and even sleep. Our team—including Dr. Rosa Pothier, Dr. Dan Bruce, and Dr. Rob Ririe—believes that by focusing on these connections, we can offer you dental care that makes a meaningful difference for your smile and your life.
What Makes Functional Dentistry Different?
Let’s be honest: traditional dentistry has done a lot of good, but it often treats symptoms without asking “why” they’re happening. Functional dentistry changes that. Instead of just fixing what’s broken, we ask questions like:
- What’s causing the wear on your teeth?
- Is your gum inflammation linked to your diet or stress levels?
- Could mouth breathing be affecting your energy or sleep quality?
We don’t just want to restore teeth—we want to restore health. That’s the Boise Integrative Dentistry difference.
The Services We Offer with a Functional Approach
Biocompatible Materials
We believe what goes into your mouth matters. That’s why we use safe, biocompatible, and minimally reactive materials. Whether you need a filling, crown, or bridge, our team will guide you to options that support your overall well-being.
Sleep and Airway Evaluations
Struggling with fatigue, snoring, or morning headaches? These may be signs of sleep-disordered breathing. Our dentists evaluate airway health and offer options that help improve your sleep and breathing.
Mercury-Free Restorations
We avoid mercury-containing amalgam fillings and instead use safer, more modern materials. We also offer safe amalgam removal. Your mouth deserves the safest solutions possible.
TMJ and Bite Analysis
Jaw pain, clenching, and grinding can stem from deeper structural or stress-related issues. We can help with headaches and TMD by functionally examining your bite and muscle balance to relieve discomfort and protect your teeth.
Whole-Body Wellness
From supporting nutrition to reducing inflammation, we see your smile as a reflection of your whole body. That’s why we ask, listen, and personalize care to support your long-term health.
