What We Do
What Makes Us Different?
Whole Health Through Balance.
We are a HOLISTIC or ‘Whole Body’ oriented Dental practice; the head, neck, and teeth have a great influence in every individual’s quality of life.
That is why Dr. Stagg belongs to a multitude of organizations, is constantly taking extensive Continuing Education Courses, (over 2700 hours), to stay abreast of the latest developments and assist her patients achieve whole body wellness through dentistry.
After earning a Fellowship with the American Academy of CranioFacial Pain in 2008, Dr. Stagg completed a Masters of Science from Tufts University-School of Dental Medicine of Boston with an emphasis in Craniofacial Pain in 2011. The subject matter was demonstrating how a change in one’s bite (or occlusion ) can affect the direction that you walk in!
Comprehensive Dentistry
Here are additional specialized services we provide at our practice:
Basic Dental Care: for all individuals: ages 3 to 101 (so far)
Mercury Free: what makes us so different is not just that we don’t use mercury for fillings, but the precautions that we take when removing them.
Ozone Adjunctive Therapy: We incorporate ozone into our basic dental procedure as well as hygiene cleanings. We also find it beneficial when using it during our PHYSICAL THERAPY modalities such as PROLOTHERAPY and TRIGGER POINT therapy for our patients in pain.
Neuro-Muscular Dentistry for patients with and without teeth. Connecting how the whole head and neck function as a comprehensive unit affecting the whole body, vice versa….. And how to trouble shoot the difference!
Dentures that are level and physiologically healthy using the E.D.O.T System.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivities: our products and environment are catered specifically to each patient’s individual needs.
TMJ Disorders: Are you tired of being told that “It’s all in your head!” ? Well, it is, but not the way you’re always told it is . We can help reduce and/or eliminate Head, Neck, and Facial Pain.
Clenching / Bruxing – Grinding solutions: for pain relief and tooth-wear prevention.
Sleep Breathing Disorders: Can be life threatening depending on the severity! We can determine where airway obstructions / restrictions are and correct them accordingly with Oral Appliance Therapy. Better yet, even prevent them from occurring when one’s oral and cranial development are addressed early enough!
Sleep Apnea: Once diagnosed by a physician, Dr. Stagg can offer an alternative to the CPAP for mild to moderate Sleep Apnea. You can choose an oral appliance as a static solution. OR you can decide to take care of the root cause by addressing the restrictions in a dynamic way once and for all!
Dento-Facial Orthopedics and Functional Orthopedics: We strive to avoid extractions and promote overall growth as well as proper tongue room by development with oral Appliance Therapy. Early Intervention Therapy guides and aids children’s facial growth, taking into consideration their airway and sleep disorders. This reduces the possible need for future surgery and braces (or the duration of treatment in braces) later in life.
Adult Orthopedics: We offer very small as well as clear braces that are more discreet.
Prosthetic Replacements For Missing Teeth: We offer a variety of very well fitting bio- compatible and metal-free options that can be strong, yet small and discreet.

Laura Aho Parsons
I came to get help from Dr. Stagg as an emergency case, referred by my Dentist. Dr. Stagg and her team did extensive testing to get to the cause of my pains, which turned out to be TMJ Disorder. But she also discovered I had Sinus issues and referred me to an ENT specialist, for an emergency appointment.
She and Dr. Malis were able to discuss my case prior to my appointment so we were primed for what needed to happen first and soon--sinus surgery! Later she referred me to a Cranio-Sacral specialist to help with musculature and skeletal issues. Dr Stagg has amazing intuition, is an artist sculpting each apparatus, a natural healer, uses all the latest technologies and has a staff as professional, yet compassionate, as she is to handle every step of the individualized protocols needed for each unique patient. She is a rare Find indeed.

Who knew that my jaw and sleeping problems could be addressed by the expansion of this 83 year old mouth? Well, Dr Stagg knew!! The ALF and lower orthotic are improving my situation almost daily for 7 months now. She and her staff are wonderful!!!
Alexandra Poolt
I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Stagg and her excellent team all the way through the assessment process and into the treatment. I finally have a better understanding of my teeth, the mouth & the tongue and how all interconnects to show a picture of my overall health. If you have been searching for answers beyond standard dental care, give her a try!!!
Lisa B
Before my treatment I found myself to have severe fatigue, no motivation to do anything, and procrastination on the smallest things. The first day I wore my orthotic, my pain in my neck and upper back diminished. I find myself awakening in the morning feeling like I got a good night sleep and I am able to fall asleep with no problem. My fatigue has lessened tremendously. I have and would recommend this treatment to friends. My life has become more enjoyable being pain free.

Before seeing Dr. Stagg, I struggled for years with constant fatigue, poor sleep, and jaw tension I didn’t understand. She discovered that my airway issues, sleep apnea, and TMJ were all connected — and that the root cause was in my mouth. Through her precise, gentle treatment, my breathing improved, my sleep became deep and restorative, and the daily pain I lived with disappeared. It completely changed my health, energy, and focus. I can’t thank you enough!.
