Optima Dental Group

Optima Dental Group odgmo.com Our expertise includes pediatrics, dental implants, cosmetic dentistry as well as all of your general dentistry needs.

Most dentistry operates via a disease/repair model of care. You have a problem and the dentist fixes it, only to return at your next visit and have more problems. “Health” may be on the practice letterhead, but it’s not in the philosophy of care. At Optima Dental Group, we approach things a little differently — we include you in the conversation and the planning of your care. We address short-ter

m concerns while building a foundation of health that can last a lifetime. Stop wasting money on treatments such as crowns and bridges if your gum health isn’t stable or you’re battling decay. If you want to get off the hamster wheel of traditional dentistry then Optima Dental Group is the right place for you.

For over 30 years, Dr. Edwards and Optima Dental Group have focused on improving the dental experience—moving away from volume-based care to truly individualized approaches.

Today, with advanced testing, innovative techniques, and cutting-edge technology, personalized dental medicine is more powerful and accessible than ever. Download our latest ebook on modern dental hygiene care at optimadentalgroup.com or odgmo.com, or click the link below and discover what's possible.

We regularly see patients from traditional "volume" offices who arrive with undiagnosed or untreated gum disease, bone loss, and decay—issues that went unnoticed because the system simply didn't look deeper. Recently, a 17-year-old came to us from another practice with significant gum disease and deep decay on multiple teeth. All of it had been "watched" with no investigation into the underlying causes. Sadly, this has become far too common in today's insurance-driven environment.

Through saliva testing and nutritional analysis, we identify root causes. Using modern materials, we can halt deep decay and support healing. Even small lesions can often be recalcified without drilling or fillings—making teeth more decay-resistant long-term.

It’s a new day in dentistry. Come experience how different dental care can feel.

“As Dr. Edwards went through the process of discovering the total extent of my issues, I was a part of it at every turn. I felt like, even though he does this all the time and teaches classes on TMJ, he treated mine like it was unique and took an individualized approach. I had seen many different doctors and specialists and no one could figure out the cause of the issues I was having, and never explained anything to me. I couldn’t believe over half my life I was being treated by all these different doctors and specialists and they never really did a thorough diagnosis or comprehensive approach to my care!” Patient -- Nick

Nick had been seen by multiple orthodontists over half his life, trying to solve his problem. He also saw two surgeons who didn't really have any solutions, just said not to do more orthodontists. Bottom line -- doctors need to work together and communicate with each other. It took a great orthodontist who pays attention to the jaw joints, airway, posture, and the bite to understand there was more going on than the teeth alignment. The orthodontist referred Nick to Optima Dental Group, and Dr. Edwards began a diagnostic process to help Nick understand his condition, developed a diagnosis, treatment options, risks, and the return on the investment he could expect, and starting a communication chain with the orthodontist and surgeon.

Hi, I am Dr. Michael Edwards and I am ushering in a new level of health care in dentistry. I take a different approach to dentistry, viewing your teeth, gums, bones of the face, TMJ's, airway -- all being part of one body. I know, crazy right? By doing this and not looking at oral health as separate but integrated, we can take a more root cause approach to helping you get healthy, be part of your health care team or assist you in organizing it, and getting you to a point where you can have the least amount of dentistry over your lifetime! Where we use biocompatible materials and alpha-gal safe options. Where you can be proud of your smile and your health, and eat the foods you want without pain and suffering. It is possible, and I have helped a lot of people do just that! Call me at 636-583-2612 today to get started.
