About Wellness Centered Dentistry

Based on Village Plaza Loop in Eugene, Oregon, Wellness Centered Dentistry is a dental practice serving the area. Holistic, or biological, dentistry applies standard dental diagnosis and treatment within an approach that emphasises material choice and conservative treatment, considering oral health as connected to the body more broadly rather than treating the mouth in isolation.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

What is holistic dentistry?
It is an approach that considers oral health in the context of overall health and tends to emphasise material choices and conservative treatment. The underlying clinical standards for diagnosing and treating dental disease remain the same.

Every six months suits most people. If you have gum disease or a history of decay a dentist may suggest coming more often. The point of regular visits is mostly to catch problems while they are still small and cheap to treat.

I am a nurse who found Wellness Centered Dentistry via an intensive search after having a bad experience locally. I live in Roseburg, so it's a 2-hr, 30-min round trip drive--and completely worth it. The staff are all warm, patient and kind--very welcoming. Dr. Whicker is extremely talented (the endodontist I saw could not say enough good things about his skill!). I am concerned about toxins, and I have confidence that they do everything possible is done to eliminate or minimize them. I have had extensive work done here and am completely happy with the results. Highest recommendation!

Love, love, love this office! Everyone is friendly, and helpful. The dental work has been thorough and thoughtful. I don’t realize how much my last dentist was lacking before coming here. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I think I became a patient of Rob Whicker's at Wellness Centered Dentistry early in 2016. Rob & the staff made a very positive impression from the start. I'm fortunate that Rob is much younger than me because I don't want to find another dentist. Whether I'm getting routine dental care or needing Rob's expertise with something else, I'm completely relaxed, confident, and very satisfied with Wellness Centered Dentistry.

Wellness Centered Dentistry has been amazing. The entire team is awesome. Dr. W is an absolute gem, Moved back to Eugene 3 yrs ago, and had major dental issues I was pretty anxious about. It’s never fun looking for a new dentist, but this team of pros put me at ease FAST. My expectations have been met every single time without disappointment. Flexible times for appointments , quiet atmosphere and friendly staff. My teeth feel great, and I look forward to my visits. I recommend highly.

Worth every penny! I am so grateful I was able to get all my mercury fillings out and all my teeth touched up and well cared for. I’ve never been so excited to go get my teeth cleaned. Refuse to go to the free OHP dentist because this office and the staff are so friendly and professional. My oral care has improved so much because they care and give me great tips on how to tend my teeth and gums well at home. Truly wonderful!

Excellent experience from start to finish. Dr Wicker is great — professional, skilled, and made the entire extraction and bone graft process much easier than expected. I also really appreciated the creative temporary retainer they made using my original crown; it looks very natural. The take home flower was a really nice touch as well.
