If you're looking for a dental practice that truly cares about your overall well being, look no further than Breathe Deep Dental. We're not just about fixing teeth; we're about helping you achieve your best oral health, and we believe that starts with a smile—and a comfortable, welcoming experience.

Dr. Sophie Diepenheim has spent years dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalized care. Her approach is simple: To understand you as a whole person, not just a set of teeth. That's why we go above and beyond the typical dental checkup, because I truly believe that a healthy mouth is a gateway to a healthier life.

Understanding the “Whole Picture”

Let's be honest, nobody loves going to the dentist. But what if your experience felt more like a visit to a spa than a sterile clinic? That's what we've created here at Breathe Deep. We're all about making you feel at ease, comfortable, and even a little pampered.

Our comprehensive approach to oral health means we look beyond the obvious. We don't just treat the symptom; we discover the root cause. Think of it like a detective investigating a mystery. We meticulously examine your oral health, taking into account factors that often get overlooked.

Here's what sets us apart:

• A thorough initial exam: It's not just a quick peek; we delve deep to understand your unique situation. We use digital x-rays for a clear picture of your teeth and bone structure, take detailed photos to track your progress, and conduct thorough oral cancer screenings. We also offer a TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) screening and a sleep airway screening, because these often-overlooked areas can have a major impact on your quality of life.
• Collaborative treatment planning: It's not about us telling you what to do. It's about working together to create a plan that suits your specific needs and goals. We want you to be an active participant in your oral health journey, because when you understand the “why,” you're more likely to stick with the plan.
• Focus on patient education: We believe knowledge is power. That's why we make a point of explaining everything in plain language, so you feel confident and empowered to make the best decisions for your oral health. We’re here to answer your questions, break down complex concepts, and offer practical advice.

Creating a Relaxing and Welcoming Vibe

We know visiting the dentist can feel daunting, so we've made our space as welcoming as possible. Imagine a comfy living room with calming colors, soft lighting, and gentle music. We've got it all, plus a few extra special touches:

• A spa-like atmosphere: We want you to feel relaxed and at ease the moment you step inside. We've carefully curated the ambiance to create a calming experience, because it's about more than just your teeth. It's about your overall well-being.
• A comfort menu: Want a cozy blanket to snuggle up in? Need a pillow for extra support? We've got you covered. We believe in taking care of your comfort, because we want you to feel relaxed and at ease.
• Noise-canceling headphones: Sometimes, all you need is a little quiet time to unwind. We're happy to offer noise-canceling headphones so you can escape the hustle and bustle and focus on your relaxation.
• Duffer the therapy dog: On Saturdays, you'll be greeted by our furry friend, Duffer. He's a black standard poodle with a heart of gold, and he loves to offer a wagging tail and a warm welcome to all our patients. He's a great reminder that even a dentist visit can be filled with a little love and fun.

A Focus on Your Oral Health Journey

Here at Breathe Deep, we're not just treating teeth; we're empowering you to achieve your best oral health. We believe that starts with education.

Dr. Sophie has a deep passion for continuing education. She believes that staying on top of the latest dental advancements and best practices is crucial to providing the highest quality care. She’s dedicated countless hours to studying everything from TMJ disorders and sleep apnea to airway health and the science behind a healthy smile. All that knowledge helps her provide personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

Think of it like this:

• Your teeth aren’t just about your smile: A healthy mouth impacts your overall health, affecting everything from digestion and sleep quality to your risk for heart disease.
• Prevention is key: We’d much rather help you prevent problems from developing in the first place than deal with them later.
• Understanding your oral health: When you understand why brushing, flossing, and regular checkups matter, you're more likely to prioritize your oral health.

We're here to answer any questions you have, explain complex procedures in plain language, and provide practical advice to make oral care easy. Our goal is to empower you to take control of your oral health.

The Dental Menu: Your Path to Affordable Oral Care

We understand that dental insurance can be a roadblock for many people. That's why we offer the Dental Menu, our in-house membership plan that removes the stress of dental costs. The Dental Menu gives you access to comprehensive care without the limitations of insurance:

• No maximums, no surprises: With the Dental Menu, you won't have to worry about hitting a maximum limit or being surprised by unexpected costs. You'll know exactly what you're paying each month and can plan for your oral health budget with confidence.
• Comprehensive coverage: Your Dental Menu membership includes your annual checkups, cleanings, x-rays, and even restorative work. We've designed the plan to provide you with everything you need to maintain a healthy smile.
• Personalized care: Just like our regular patients, Dental Menu members receive personalized treatment plans based on their individual needs and goals. We'll work together to create a plan that helps you achieve your best oral health, without breaking the bank.
