BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY
Biological Dentistry is dentistry that takes into account the whole person: it recognizes the connection and relationship between oral health and systemic health. We understand that the techniques and materials used and the procedures performed have potential whole body effects.
Biological dentists seek out the cause of symptoms rather than just treating the symptoms themselves. The goal is to keep clients healthy or enable them to obtain optimal health, rather than just continuously mending broken mouths - dentistry done in this fasion provides clients with the safest experience for their overall health.
IAOMT SMART Amalgam Removal
Our office is certified by the IAOMT in safe mercury amalgam removal. Please reference the following website for complete information on our protocols for safely removing mercury amalgam fillings.
We are committed to following these guidelines outlined by the IAOMT for removing mercury amalgam fillings. We believe that these measures are necessary to protect our patients, ourselves, and the environment from potentially harmful exposure to mercury vapors and mercury particles when these types of filling are removed and replaced with healtheir, more biocompatible materials.
Bioclear Restoration
If you are looking for an alternative to the high cost, the extended treatment timelines, and permanent damange that comes with traditional crowns, we’re happy to introduce Bioclear Restorations. The Bioclear Method gently covers your natural teeth with composite material without compromising the underlying structure.
This technique excels in addressing the unattractive gaps and black triangles caused by receding gums or bone loss, providing a natural and attractive solution. Janssen Dental Clinic is proud to be the exclusive provider of this innovative technology in Green Bay.

Ozone Therapy
-
Ozone is a powerful oxidant. Ozone is created by an energetic reaction that results in an oxygen molecule (O2) being spit into a singlet oxygen (O1). This singlet oxygen (O1) combines with an oxygen molecure (O2) forming ozone (O3). Ozone is produced naturally in the atmosphere, i.e. sunlight, lightning, waterfalls, and oceans. Ozone is also produced naturally in our bodies in white blood cells/antibodies. When introduced into a living system, ozone creates an “oxidative burst”, which safely disinfects and stimulates natural healing processes, increasing blood flow and immune responses to gain more rapid healing.
-
Ozone kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These offending pathogens have little or no antioxidant enzymes in their cell membranes, therefore ozone is able to oxidize, or burn through the cells, destroying them (resulting in cell death). Healthy cells do have antioxidant enzymes thus ensuring protections from being oxidized or burned up by the ozone.
Beside being deadly to bacteriam, viruses, and fungi, ozone also speeds up wound healing, remineralizes the tooth, halts dental cavities, increases circulation, and creates a “friendly” mouth environment.
In addition, ozone be used in dental treatments such as root canal therapy, periodontal disease treatment, for bone infections, and for cold and canker sores.
-
Ozone is safe when used correctly and with the proper/high-quality equipment. Control of the excess ozone in the office environment is essential. Ozone monitors are used to indicate office ozone levels stay at safe levels. Ozone concentrations/dosages used in dentistry are very safe and keep office environment ozone levels low.
We use high quality ozone generators for a wide variety of applications related to dentsitry. We are also able to use multiple forms of ozone inlcuding ozone water, ozone gas, and ozone oil.
PRF - PLATELET THERAPY
-
PRF stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin. We use the Leukocytes PRF also known as white blood cells. They are part of the immune system and are responsible for helping heal our bodies. Platelets are also blood cells. They are responsible for attracting healing cells, creating blood clots. They are also key cells for producing growth factos. Fibrin is another component of the blood that works with platelets to create blood clots.
-
PRF provides a conventrated release of healing proteins, creates a scaffolding to help direct healing and also forms a more efficient network for cells to communicate with other cells and tissues. Due to the high concentration of platelets and leukocytes within the PRF clot, the fibrin releases growth factors for up to 14 days after placement. This is when the body is repairing itself and needs the extra help to heal.
-
PRF uses your own blood, with NO additive whatsoever. Reducing the risk of allergy, or side effects because your own concentrated platelets, with their own unique healing abilities are simply re-introduced at the site of your extraction, implant placement or other surgical site.
-
Currently, PRF is being used for dental and oral maxillofacial surgical procedures, including dental implants, bone defects, extraction sockets, sinus and dental ridge augmentation, palatal defects, and maxillary bone atrophy.
