The SystemicSmile Protocol™

The Functional Dentistry System That Breaks the Cycle of Endless Dental Work

Most dentists wait until something goes wrong. We prevent it from happening in the first place.

Welcome to Deering Dental’s High Performance Prevention System, an evidence-based, body-aligned protocol that goes far beyond traditional cleanings and checkups. Rooted in biomimetic and functional dentistry, this system is designed to stop cavities, reverse early gum disease, and reduce the need for future dental.

If you’ve ever felt like modern dentistry is stuck in a cycle of drill, fill, and bill – you’re right. And it’s time for a smarter way forward.

What Is High Performance Prevention?

At its core, High Performance Prevention is a smarter, more effective approach to dental care. It’s the system behind our 86.5% reduction in root canals and the reason our patients need less dental work, not more.

This isn’t just about hygiene. It’s about biology, behavior, biomechanics, and breathing.

By addressing the root causes of decay and disease and helping your body work the way it was meant to, we’re able to keep your teeth stronger, longer, and healthier for life.

The 3 Pillars of True Prevention

1. Biology: Work with your body, not against it

We focus on restoring balance in the oral microbiome, supporting remineralization, and reducing inflammation. Key elements backed by emerging research linking oral health to systemic wellness.

“Imbalances of the oral microbiota … exert relevant influence in systemic health.” (PMC9405223)

2. Behavior: Replace damaging habits with smarter ones

Habits like frequent snacking, poor sleep, or using harsh oral care products disrupt your body’s natural defenses. Our system corrects these patterns to protect against decay and gum disease.

3. Biomechanics: Fix the structure to stop the stress

Your bite, jaw alignment, and airway can all affect tooth health. Structural issues like grinding, clenching, or mouth breathing often lead to premature wear and our system actively addresses those before they cause damage.

How Our Patients Need 86.5% Fewer Root Canals

We don’t just “watch and wait.”

Instead, we intervene early with tools like hydroxyapatite remineralization, dental probiotics, and non-invasive techniques that restore teeth before they reach the point of needing a root canal.

“Hydroxyapatite toothpastes … have been shown to deposit and restore demineralized enamel surfaces.” (PMC8930857)

“Biomimetic dentistry is the art and science of repairing damaged teeth with restorations that imitate … living tissues … in terms of appearance, function, and strength.” (PMC9936671)

These methods strengthen natural tooth structure and drastically reduce the retreatment cycle that comes with traditional “drill-and-fill” approaches.

Think it’s too good to be true? Here’s the proof of how we’ve slashed root canal rates by 86.5% (link to RCT decline page)

Why Most Dentists Keep You Stuck in the Cycle

Traditional dentistry often waits for problems to develop. Then it drills, cuts, and replaces.

Each procedure removes more healthy structure and makes the tooth more fragile. Fillings lead to crowns, crowns lead to root canals, and eventually, teeth are lost. Prevention gets buried under damage control.

The High Performance Prevention system breaks this cycle, focusing instead on preserving what’s still strong, fixing what’s vulnerable, and stopping decay before it starts.

What Makes This System Different

We don’t just clean teeth, we assess your entire lifestyle, from diet and hydration to sleep and nasal breathing. Then we create a personalized prevention plan based on your unique risks.

This includes:

  • Hydroxyapatite and nano-silver toothpastes
  • Oral probiotics
  • Functional nutrition
  • Salivary diagnostics
  • Bite and airway assessments

These aren’t gimmicks. They’re evidence-based solutions tailored to reduce decay, gum disease, and even systemic inflammation.

“Biocompatible materials … reduce inflammation and promote faster healing.” (AOBMD)

The Oral-Systemic Advantage

We now know that oral health isn’t just about teeth.

“People who have poor oral health … have higher rates of cardiovascular problems such as heart attack or stroke than people with good oral health.” (Harvard Health)

“Oral microbiome dysbiosis may contribute to … cardiometabolic diseases.” (IFM)

That’s why our system isn’t just cosmetic or surface-level. It can have serious implications for heart health, brain health, and metabolic resilience.

When you treat the mouth as part of the whole body, everything changes.

Your Customized Prevention Blueprint

Every person has different needs.

Your prevention blueprint might include:

  • A hydroxyapatite-based routine for early decay
  • Anti-inflammatory protocols for gum health
  • Oral appliance therapy if grinding is present
  • Sleep and airway optimization if mouth breathing is detected

And we revisit that plan regularly, adjusting as your health evolves.

The Results Speak for Themselves

86.5% fewer root canals

90% fewer crowns

Our patients needing us less over time instead of more.

Because our patients aren’t stuck in the endless cycle of repairs. They’re building real, lasting health from the mouth out.

“They fully believe in preserving as much of the original tooth as possible”

This place is amazing. It’s like no other dentist I’ve ever been to, not even remotely… They fully believe in preserving as much of the original tooth as possible and will do whatever they can to help you keep it before drilling. Deering Dental is a state-of-the-art practice, and I’m so grateful to live so close to them.

From the moment I walked in, I knew this dental office was something special! The atmosphere feels more like a spa or a luxury boutique hotel than a typical dental clinic. The front desk ladies are absolutely amazing, so welcoming and kind, they make you feel pampered from the start.
Angi, my hygienist, was incredibly knowledgeable and gentle. She explained everything to me throughout my cleaning, which made me feel so comfortable and informed. I even got to choose from a menu of complimentary comforts( from bubbles to heated pillows and blankets) it truly felt like a “me time” spa day!
They surprised me with a thoughtful birthday gift and a lovely welcome package, which made the experience even more special. The doctor took her time explaining my treatment plan and really made me feel cared for.
I’m so happy I found this place and that my friend recommended it to me! For the first time ever, I actually look forward to my dental appointments. I’m obsessed!

Best dentist out there!! Look no further! The philosophy is impressive, guiding, and evident in the services you receive. I can get nervy in doctor settings, but this experience was so different. They keep you informed, have your best interest in mind, and keep you comfortable. Being able to watch TV during your visits is such a nice & comforting touch! I had a procedure done, they got me in the next day after my first visit, and I didn’t feel an ounce of pain!!! Not even with the injections! Dr. Pinto is incredible ( and all the hygienists are so kind and knowledgeable) I can’t recommend enough!

Love going to this dentist.
Never been to a dental office who accommodates and makes sure you’re feeling comfortable from the beginning you walk in and the moment you walk out. Nadia did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. Really did one of the best cleanings I’ve had. He assured and showed me every little detail he was doing and was going to do next. The place it self is very relaxing and spotless and is very welcoming with their amazing staff they have in their team as well.
