The Benefits of Having Your Dentist and Primary Care Doctor Under One Roof
At Collective Health Society here in Englewood, we believe that your dental health and your overall health are deeply connected. Over the years, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern—patients struggling with severe dental disease often also face chronic health conditions. Yet when I referred these patients to their medical providers for follow-up, the connection between their oral health and their systemic health was often overlooked. Sometimes, there wasn’t even a provider on their care team who addressed these underlying issues.
That’s why I founded Collective Health Society—to create a space where dentistry and medicine work together, seamlessly, under one roof. We’ve designed our practice to be a true one-stop shop, where you can receive both advanced dental care and comprehensive medical support in one location. Our goal is simple: help you achieve optimal health by treating your body as a whole, not in isolated parts.
A Different Kind of Dental and Medical Practice
We do everything you’d expect from a high-quality dental office—routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, oral surgery—but with a distinctive, whole-body approach. Every decision we make is guided by three key principles:
- Precision through testing – We use tools like salivary microbiome testing to uncover the root causes of gum disease, cavities, and even systemic inflammation.
- A focus on breathing and airway health – Because proper nasal breathing is essential for everything from better sleep to improved cardiovascular health.
- Biocompatible care – Using only safe, non-toxic materials and removing metals or substances that could be harmful over time.
This isn’t just about treating symptoms. It’s about preventing disease, restoring balance, and supporting long-term wellness.
Why the Mouth–Body Connection Matters
The mouth is more than the gateway to your body—it’s an active participant in your overall health. Oral health issues can influence more than 57 systemic diseases, from heart disease to diabetes. When we see bleeding gums, chronic inflammation, or persistent cavities, it’s often a sign of something happening elsewhere in the body.
By integrating medical care directly into our practice, we can connect those dots more quickly and effectively. For example, if your oral bacteria are contributing to systemic inflammation, we can address it from both a dental and a medical perspective, reducing your symptoms and supporting true healing.
Services Designed for Whole-Body Wellness
When you walk into Collective Health Society, you’re stepping into a space where your dental care, your medical care, and your overall wellness are part of the same conversation. Here’s a closer look at what we offer:
Comprehensive Dental Care
From preventive cleanings to advanced restorative work, we handle all aspects of dentistry in a way that supports your whole body. We use digital X-rays with the lowest possible radiation, 3D CBCT imaging to examine your airway and detect hidden dental issues, and same-day crown technology so you can skip the temporary restorations.
Primary Care & Functional Medicine
Our in-house medical director offers primary care services, ensuring that your oral and systemic health are evaluated together. We also offer functional medicine to get to the root of chronic health issues and create tailored wellness plans.
Nutrition Support
Our on-staff nutritionist provides testing for food sensitivities, toxins, and parasites, then works with you to create a nutrition plan that supports healing and long-term health.
IV Therapy
We offer IV vitamin and nutrient therapy to help you detox from environmental toxins, boost your immune system, and replenish your body’s reserves.
Myofunctional Therapy
Think of this as physical therapy for your mouth. Myofunctional therapy improves tongue posture, strengthens oral muscles, and supports healthy breathing patterns—especially important for children and adults with airway concerns.
Technology That Raises the Standard of Care
We’ve invested in advanced technology that makes diagnosis more precise, treatments more comfortable, and results more predictable. Our tools include:
- Digital X-rays for minimal radiation exposure
- 3D CBCT imaging to see airway structure and detect hidden dental problems
- Salivary microbiome testing to identify harmful bacteria
- Enzyme testing to measure systemic inflammation
- Same-day crown milling for convenience and biocompatibility
- Ozone therapy to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and speed healing after cleanings, surgeries, and implant placement
Membership Plans That Make Care Accessible
We believe integrated care should be available and affordable. That’s why we offer membership options for different needs:
- Dental Membership Plan – For routine dental care at a lower cost
- Functional Medicine Memberships – For ongoing medical care and wellness support
- Nutrition Plans – Including testing and personalized guidance
- IV Therapy Memberships – For regular vitamin infusions at a discounted rate
These plans allow our patients to maintain consistent care without worrying about unexpected costs.
The Benefits of Integrated Care
When your dental and medical teams are in the same place, you experience a level of coordination and efficiency that’s rare in traditional healthcare:
- Faster answers – We can consult with each other in real-time, without waiting weeks for referrals.
- Unified treatment plans – Your dental and medical care are aligned, reducing conflicting advice.
- Early detection – Problems in the mouth often point to systemic issues, allowing for earlier intervention.
- Whole-body focus – We address not just the symptom, but the cause, for better long-term outcomes.
What to Expect as a New Patient
Your first visit will include a thorough dental and medical history, a detailed examination, and, when appropriate, advanced testing like microbiome analysis or airway imaging. From there, we create a personalized plan that may include dental treatment, nutrition counseling, IV therapy, or functional medicine—sometimes all working together.
Patients tell us they feel heard, cared for, and empowered in a way they haven’t experienced in other settings. Many have seen chronic symptoms improve after years of frustration, simply because we addressed the connection between their oral and systemic health.
Take the First Step Toward Total Health
Your dental care should be more than just keeping your smile bright—it should be a cornerstone of your overall health. By combining dentistry and medical care under one roof, we can help you achieve a higher level of wellness, faster and more effectively.
