We don't just focus on your teeth - we consider Your teeth and body as a whole
Biological Dentistry looks at your mouth and teeth and its connection to the body as a whole entity, without the use of heavy drugs and chemicals, because your smile and your health are one in the same.
Zirconia (Ceramic) Implants:
Metal implants, such as titanium, can have negative effects on an individual's health. Zirconium, a metal-free ceramic based material, offers a metal free choice that is more compatible with one's body.
Formally trained by the Paracelsus Clinic in Teufen, Switzerland 19 years ago, Dr. Martha Cortés has furthered her training with the SwissBio Health Clinic's concept training at Swiss BioHealth’s (SBH) Headquarters in Switzerland, as well as hands on training with Swiss BioHealth SDS (Swiss Dental Solutions) in Costa Rica, remaining in today's cutting edge biological medicine for implantology.

Safe Mercury (Amalgam) Removal:
Originally trained by Paracelsus in Switzerland, in the late 90’s, and then again with IABDM (International Academy of Biological Dental Medicine), Dr. Cortés has been safely removing mercury fillings for over 20 years. Because of her eagerness to study and to better the health of her patients, she furthered her technique and protocol in 2018, again traveling to Switzerland, this time to study Swiss BioHealth’s protocol. Utilizing all proper techniques, tools and protocols, Dr. Cortés has safely removed mercury filings on hundreds of teeth. If you have any questions about the process and protocol, contact us, we’d be happy to answer any questions.
PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) Bone Grafting:
As opposed to other bone grafting materials, PRF is biologically compatible, highly effective and free of side effects. The technique involves drawing and spinning a patient’s own blood which activates growth stimulators and creates a membrane which is used as a grafting material for surgical procedures such as an implant or extraction. Studies have shown that PRF greatly assists in bone regeneration and soft tissue healing, and can help in the prevention of “dry sockets” following the removal of teeth.
Dr. Martha Cortés originally learned PRF from Dr. Joseph Choukroun, and furthered her techniques with the Swiss BioHealth protocol.
Pinhole® Surgical Technique:
Invented and patented by Dr. John Chao, the Pinhole® Surgical Technique, also known as the Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™, is a minimally invasive procedure for gum recession. Scalpel-free, suture-free, and graft-free, the technique utilizes specific tools which allow the dentist to gently loosen the gum and bring it over the receded part of a tooth. Because there is no cutting or stitches involved, a patient can expect minimal post-operative symptoms.
Ozone Therapy:
Ozone, a colorless gas made of three oxygen atoms, is utilized to improve the body's intake of oxygen and activate the body's immune system to treat a multitude of conditions.
Studies have shown the application of ozone in dentistry to have many benefits in different surgical and periodontal procedures. Here are some of the uses of ozone:
Neutralize decay-causing bacteria
Disinfect surgical sites
Assist in the treatment of periodontal/gum disease
Assist with the healing process of diseased tissue and decay
