General Dentistry
General dentistry encompasses a broad range of services offered by many dentists. Methods and materials used vary from provider to provider. Patients will enjoy dental visits and be more inclined to maintain regular appointments by choosing a provider with whom they are comfortable. Knowing the priorities of a dental provider in delivering care will allow a patient to choose a provider that lines up closely with their own ideals. Dr. Silvano Senn and the Whole Health Dentistry staff is committed to holistic dentistry, provided with care to contribute to the oral and overall health of the individual. They are also concerned with the impact of their practice methods on the environment, and consciously consider this when formulating treatments.Dr. Senn has been practicing dentistry since 1981, and treating area patients in his Sebastopol, CA, office since 2005. We are respected in the community for our voluntary contributions, and by the physicians and alternative medicine health professionals that we work with to assure our patients a complete health experience. Dental health affects the entire body, and all facets of general dentistry should enhance the patient’s overall wellbeing.
