When people think about improving their health, they often focus on nutrition, exercise, or better sleep. While those are all important, many are surprised to learn that a healthy mouth plays a vital role in supporting the health of the entire body. That's why I'm passionate about providing holistic and biologically inclined dental care that puts your overall wellness first. 🌱

Every patient who visits my office receives care that's centered on preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible. Rather than simply treating teeth, I look at how your oral health affects your entire body and develop conservative treatment plans designed to support long-term wellness.

Holistic dentistry recognizes that your mouth is connected to every other system in your body. Biologic dentistry focuses on using biocompatible materials and minimally invasive techniques that encourage healing while protecting healthy teeth. Together, these principles help create healthier, longer-lasting smiles. ✨

Some of the ways we support your health include:
🦷 Mercury-free dentistry and SMART-certified mercury-safe removal
🦷 Minimally invasive Biomimetic Dentistry that strengthens damaged teeth while preserving natural tooth structure
🦷 Dental Ozone Therapy to help reduce harmful bacteria, support healing, and improve oral health naturally
🦷 Comprehensive preventive care focused on reducing infection, inflammation, and gum disease before they become larger health concerns

As a SMART-certified dentist through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), I have received advanced training in safe mercury removal and holistic treatment principles. My commitment has always been to combine proven science with conservative care that benefits both your smile and your overall health.

If you've been searching for a dental practice that sees you as more than just your teeth, I invite you to experience the difference.

My team and I are committed to helping you achieve a healthy, comfortable smile while supporting your long-term wellness every step of the way.

Our holistically inclined dentistry offers comprehensive treatments that promote overall wellness for our patients living throughout Lansing, Holt, Okemos, Mason, Grand Ledge, Dewitt, Haslett, Williamston, St. Johns, Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, East Lansing, Potterville, and other surrounding areas.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our practice here in Lansing! 🌿😁

CAN A DENTIST TREAT SLEEP APNEA? YES!
Yes, your sleep apnea oral appliance solution for snoring can be treated at my Lansing, MI dental office. I have the training, skills, and experience to treat mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea for my patients. To treat this condition, I may recommend a custom-made oral appliance. But first, it’s crucial to learn and fully understand the patient’s condition in order to get a full grasp of how we will move forward with treatment.

Hello, this is Dr. Jonathan J. Bechtel and I understand and empathize with the discomfort and distress that sleep apnea can cause which is why we’re here to offer our help to all those affected living in Lansing and the surrounding area.

An Alternative to CPAP For Patients With Sleep Apnea
I focus on providing conservative, biocompatible treatment options that uphold our holistic wellness standards. While CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) machine is the preferred method of treatment for severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, many people cannot tolerate sleeping with the machine. For patients who cannot tolerate a CPAP, I can provide a custom oral appliance option. Oral appliance therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment that fits easily into your lifestyle. Some patients who do tolerate their CPAP may just want a better option for travel, so my oral appliance option is very helpful to them.

Oral appliances have high success rates when it comes to treating mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). They are effective for about 70% of mild cases and 60% of moderate cases. These appliances are customized for you and promote the proper positioning of the tongue and tissues around the throat during sleep.

Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance: SomnoDent®
I use a SomnoDent® sleep apnea oral appliance at my practice, which is a premium, custom-fitted dental device developed for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. SomnoDent® oral devices are clinically proven, safe, and FDA cleared for mild-to-moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It is an effective, comfortable, and durable alternative to CPAP therapy or corrective surgery. By simply wearing a SomnoDent® oral appliance while sleeping, your lower jaw (mandible) will be moved forward into a comfortable position, allowing relaxation of the tissues at the back of your throat and ensuring the base of your tongue does not collapse and block your airway, giving you a safe and soundless sleep.

Oral Appliance Therapy at our Dental Practice in Lansing, MI:
Your SomnoDent® custom oral appliance will be created using physical or digital impressions and models of your teeth. I will send these impressions and models to our trusted dental lab where your oral appliance is made. We’ll set up a follow-up appointment once your oral appliance has been created for a fitting. I will make any adjustments necessary to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness. A member of my team will go over care and cleaning instructions. After your fitting appointment, we may refer you to a sleep study clinic for observation.

Sleep Apnea Diagnosis & Treatment in Lansing, MI:
Sleep apnea is a common, yet potentially serious condition in which an individual’s sleep is continually disrupted as a result of air being unable to flow into the lungs, preventing the person from being able to breathe regularly. Severe sleep apnea can lead to highly concerning and potentially life-threatening complications such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Contact Us For Your Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment:
If you believe that you may be experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea, we urge you to contact our office as soon as possible at 517-882-7132 to schedule your appointment and start your journey to better wellness.

I have successfully treated sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy since 2008 and many patients experience relief from the associated symptoms and improve their overall health with a custom oral appliance device.

Our holistically inclined, health centered dentistry office in Lansing, MI serves patients living throughout Lansing, Holt, Okemos, Mason, Grand Ledge, Dewitt, Haslett, Williamston, St. Johns, Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, East Lansing, Potterville, and other surrounding areas.

Sincerely,
Dr. Jonathan J. Bechtel, DDS

🌿 Holistically & Biologically Inclined Dentistry — Focused on Your 2026 Health Goals ✨

It’s refreshing to see so many people becoming more intentional about their health, wellness, and the connection between oral health and the rest of the body. More than ever, patients are seeking holistic and biologic solutions, and I remain deeply committed to providing dentistry that supports whole-body well-being.

I feel incredibly blessed to continue practicing holistically and biologically inclined dentistry that is health-focused and patient-centered. My goal has always been to support the integrated health of the entire body, helping my patients reach their long-term health and wellness goals through thoughtful, conservative dental care.

I remain focused on providing comprehensive dental treatment using minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. I truly believe that minimally invasive holistic and biologic dentistry helps patients live longer, healthier, and happier lives. I treat each patient as a whole person, and every visit is guided by my personal, undivided attention.

What Is Holistically and Biologically Inclined Dentistry?
In the care I provide, holistic means recognizing that the health of the mouth and the health of the body cannot be separated. Biologic means that I continually seek better ways to help individuals get and stay healthy, using biocompatible materials and techniques that emphasize durability, longevity, and conservation of natural tooth structure.

The Impact of Holistic Dentistry on the Body
All of my treatments are designed to support overall wellness, with benefits that extend well beyond oral health, including:
• Treating infections and diseases that can spread from the mouth to other systems or organs
• Providing conservative, minimally invasive treatments
• Preventing mercury exposure by offering mercury-free filling services
• Reducing exposure to irritants and potential allergens found in traditional dentistry
• Diagnosing and providing preventive care for chronic conditions that affect the gums and teeth

Mercury-Safe Dentistry
My practice is dedicated to mercury-free dentistry. We do not place mercury fillings and are certified to provide mercury-safe removal services for patients throughout the Lansing area.

IAOMT Certification & Training
I am SMART-certified through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). This certification reflects advanced training in safe mercury removal and a thorough understanding of the harmful effects mercury can have on the body.

Minimally Invasive Biomimetic Dentistry
I am fully committed to restorative dentistry that aligns with holistic wellness principles. My team and I are proud to offer biologic alternatives to traditional crowns, utilizing minimally invasive biomimetic restorations.

Biomimetic dentistry uses porcelain inlays and onlays, along with stress-reduced composite restorations, to restore the natural biomechanics of damaged teeth. Traditional restorative options, such as metal crowns, gold crowns, amalgam fillings, and porcelain-fused crowns, do not provide the same conservative benefits.

Dental Ozone Therapy
At my Lansing practice, Dental Ozone Therapy is incorporated into many procedures, including gum disease treatment, restorative dentistry, and oral surgery. Ozone therapy enhances healing, supports oral health, and provides a powerful, conservative defense against harmful bacteria.

I continue to see growing interest in ozone therapy because it is holistic, painless, minimally invasive, and can significantly reduce healing time. It has become one of the most effective tools used in holistic dentistry today.

Join Our Holistic & Biologic Dentistry Family in 2026
Being a holistically and biologically inclined dental practice means we take dental care one step further. Your mouth is deeply connected to your body, mind, and overall well-being, and my goal is to support that connection at every level.

My dental practice is located in Lansing, providing patients a convenient location for all your dental needs. We serve patients living throughout Lansing, MI, Holt, Okemos, Mason, Grand Ledge, Dewitt, Haslett, Williamston, St. Johns, Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, East Lansing, and Potterville.
