      General Info

      Treatment of the dental system as part of the whole facio-cranial, neck and body anatomy.

      The mouth can be considered to be the doorway to the human body. It possesses a large proportion of cranial nerve tissue, blood vessels and a route of exposure to pathogens. Changes that occur in the mouth can have implications for the physiological and psychological behaviour of the human body while disturbances in the functional processes of the human body can be observed by examining the mouth.

      Dr J M Da Cruz encompasses a "whole body" oriented approach to oral health treatment, using relationships between oral health and general health. The human body is an interconnected dynamic system where changes in one part have implications for other parts.

      Dr J M Da Cruz has spent many years of research, refining The Splint Orthodontic Myofunctional Appliance (SOMA). The SOMA treatment involves the gentle expansion of bony structures in the upper palate without creating stress or pain. This produces major improvements in facial patterns and straightens teeth while pacifying the nervous system while dampening down the sympathetic overdrive. More information is available on our website.

      We need a deep understanding of how the jaw, the atlas, the axis, the TMJ (Temporal Mandibular Joint), the neck and the airway relate and work together along with the rest of the body to produce a harmonious relationship.

      Does your surgery offer payment plans?

      No, we provide a "pay on treatment" service.


      What is "Holistic Dentistry"?

      We look at dentistry and how it relates to the whole body not just oral health.


      Are all of the dentists in your surgery holistic?

      Yes, Dr J M Da Cruz is the main holistic dentist but all our dentists follow the same procedures and philosophy as Dr J M Da Cruz.


      Do you offer any alternative to braces?

      Yes, being holistic we do a myofunctional appliance, which is called the "SOMA". This appliance is orthodontic as well as orthopedic.


      Are we an "amalgam free" surgery?

      Yes, we are amalgam free and we follow a special protocol when removing amalgam fillings.
