We happily offer home sleep apnea tests with equipment that is approved by most medical insurances. This is to measure your breathing and blood oxygen level. We may also measure your heart rate or other aspects of your body. This is often more accurate and comfortable for patients than going to a sleep center for testing.
We offer holistic dentistry, which can also be referred to as biological dentistry. This type of care means we only use safe, natural materials and procedures in our office. Dr. Scott Chandler and Dr. Geddes evaluate your overall, long-term health as part of your treatment care. We also refrain from substances that are toxic to the body, such as mercury in fillings and gutta-percha in root canal therapy. We also recommend Xylitol for stronger teeth and cavity prevention rather than fluoride.
Dr. Chandler has been dedicated to the field of dentistry since 2001 and is well-trained in natural dentistry. He is a member of the Holistic Dental Association and often works with well-known natural healers, such as Dr. Mark Lafferty in Park City, Utah.
Because metal expands and contracts with fluctuating temperatures, metal fillings also do. This means decay can grow in the spaces surrounding the filling. It has also been shown that over time, metal fillings have cracked teeth and leaked toxins as they break down. For this reason, we do not use any metals at our practice and offer zirconia dental implants as an alternative to titanium.
Biological dentistry in Park City, Utah, is a unique resource to those with and without compromised health. Unfortunately, too many people feel that dentistry is too expensive and fail to give their teeth the necessary care. For that reason, we aim to provide the most affordable and beneficial dentistry to our patients available.
We happily accept most insurance plans. If you dont have insurance, we can offer a Preferred Patient Discount plan. With that, you may qualify for a free HSA account to make budgeting for dental care easy and tax-free. Our office is focused on utilizing your insurance benefits as effectively as possible to get the most out of your coverage.
Our practice also works with CareCredit. This loan company offers different plan types that include no-interest loans and extended payment plans with no money down, no pre-payment penalty, and no annual fee. All payments are required to be made at the time of the patients procedure. Payments can be made with credit cards and those who choose to pay with cash or check (at least five days before the procedure) will receive a five percent billing adjustment.
Dr. Scott Chandler attended dental school at the University of Kentucky and has actively practiced dentistry since 2001. Dr. Chandler practiced for ten years in Idaho before he moved to Utah and founded his dental practice. He found his calling in biological dentistry and is one of very few holistic dentists in the state. He believes strongly in treating the whole person, not just the mouth, and focuses care on optimum wellness for his patients. Dr. Scott Chandler is a family man. As the father of eleven children, there is never a dull moment in his house. He greatly enjoys riding motorcycles and hunting with his children. Dr. Chandler also generously donates his time to charitable endeavors like being a scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts and treating patients who might otherwise never have access to dental care at Community Health Connection. He also uses his skills to provide dental work to foreign missionaries through area churches.
Dr. Geddes graduated in 2006 from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada with his Doctorate of Dental Science. He began practicing in Zanesville, OH as an associate before purchasing his own practice in 2008 in Wyoming. He owned, operated, fully digitized and expanded his Wyoming practice for 8 years, before moving his family to Idaho. His interest in Biological dentistry came after he purchased his own 3D x-ray machine and saw all the hidden infections present in his patients mouths. The body cannot heal itself if the mouth is out of balance and poor sleep is not improved. Dr. Geddes has implemented a screening system for sleep breathing disorders and has treated TMD, TMJ, Sleep Apnea, and orthodontic patients, as well as keeping up on all standard dental procedures. He and his family are very active in the outdoors. They love running, biking, horseback riding, backpacking, skiing, and hiking.
