Biological Dentistry Services
Tranquility Dental Care offers personalized, comprehensive dental care for all ages.
What is Biological Dentistry?
Biological dentistry—also known as holistic or integrative dentistry—is an approach to dental care that recognizes the powerful connection between oral health and overall wellness. For many patients in Yardley, PA, and throughout Bucks County, this concept is new, but the science behind it continues to grow.
At Tranquility Dental Care, we don’t view your mouth as separate from the rest of your body. Your teeth, gums, jaw, airway, and oral tissues all influence how you feel, heal, and function every day. Biological dentistry focuses on prevention, minimally invasive care, biocompatible materials, and whole-body health, rather than simply treating symptoms.
Your oral health can impact your heart health, immune response, energy levels, sleep quality, and inflammation throughout the body. By combining modern dental technology with biologically informed techniques, we help patients across Bucks County and the surrounding communities achieve healthy, functional smiles that support long-term vitality—not just short-term fixes.
Our ultimate goal is to optimize both the length and quality of life.

CBCT Imaging at Tranquility Dental Care
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technology that provides a high-resolution 3D view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, sinuses, and airway. Unlike traditional 2D dental X-rays, CBCT allows our Yardley, PA biological dental team to see critical anatomical details with exceptional clarity.
CBCT imaging allows us to:
Accurately diagnose complex dental and airway conditions
Plan treatments with precision and confidence
Evaluate airway health and structural anatomy
Important Note: CBCT imaging does not replace routine dental X-rays. It is used selectively when additional 3D detail is necessary to ensure safe, effective, and informed treatment.
Benefits of a Full CBCT Report
-
Evaluate bone height, width, and density, avoid vital structures such as nerves and sinuses, and improve long-term implant success.
-
Identify issues such as failing or previously treated root canals, certain cracks or fractures (when visible), cysts, tumors, and other oral pathology. While extremely fine hairline fractures may still be difficult to detect, CBCT significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy.
-
Assess TMJ health, sinus anatomy, and airway structure to better understand symptoms such as pain, congestion, or breathing concerns.
-
Evaluate airway anatomy to identify obstructions or risk factors related to sleep apnea, breathing difficulties, or jaw-related airway issues.
-
3D imaging allows for better planning, fewer surprises, and more predictable outcomes.
-
Seeing your anatomy in 3D helps you clearly understand your condition and make confident, informed decisions about your care.
