Patients drive from Sarasota for cleanings here, and the reason is the standard: fluoride-free, biocompatible materials, ozone support where gums need it, and a hygienist working from your whole health picture.
In short
Holistic cleanings at Natural Smiles use fluoride-free, biocompatible materials and add ozone pocket support where gums need it. A hygienist works from your whole health picture, charts pockets, and sends findings to Dr. Litano in writing. Recall timing is set per patient, and the cost comes in writing before any decisions.
A cleaning touches every tooth and the bloodstream under the gums, twice a year for life. Materials and methods matter at volume like a filling matters once: fluoride-free, biocompatible, and gum-aware.
The polish and the prevention both run clean.
Pockets get measured, and ozone reaches where floss stops.
Cleanings feed the bigger health picture on file.
Both remove tartar. What happens to your teeth and gums during the visit is where the two part ways.

"Took my now 19 month old here back when she chipped her tooth at 13 months. He was great with her. … Every one who works here is so pleasant. I will continue to make the 1 hour and 15 minute drive here just because of the atmosphere!"
"Dr. Litano is a saint! I was dreading having to have a tooth pulled and he put my mind to ease. Love how he’s a one stop shop for removal + putting in a non toxic implant! He is very kind & caring too!"
"I drive over an hour each way to see these people but they are the best. Very meticulous and confirm to the idea of first do no harm. A rare thing in modern dentistry."
The questions patients ask most before switching their cleanings here.
Fluoride-free protocol, biocompatible materials, ozone support for gums where indicated, and findings read against your whole health history.
Yes. Plenty of patients drive in for hygiene visits alone, and new patients start with an exam so cleanings run against a real baseline. New patient exams.
Periodontal findings route to ozone therapy and laser periodontal care, with a written plan before any treatment. Laser periodontal therapy.
Hygiene visits price in writing at the exam, with insurance reimbursement guidance from the team.
