Welcome to Orchard Dental! We are a small, family-owned business that has been serving our community for over 33 years. Our founder and lead dentist, Dr. LaPelusa, has been practicing dentistry for over three decades and has a passion for providing high-quality, holistic dental care to patients of all ages.
At our practice, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the teeth. We understand that oral health is intricately connected to overall health, and we take a comprehensive approach to dental care that focuses on preventing problems before they start. We use the latest technologies and techniques to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care, and we take the time to educate them about their oral health and treatment options.

A holistic approach
Here at Orchard Dental, we believe that oral health is inseparable from overall health. We take a holistic approach to dentistry that emphasizes the importance of treating the whole person, not just their teeth. Unlike conventional dentistry, which often focuses solely on fixing dental problems as they arise, holistic dentistry takes a proactive approach to preventing dental issues before they occur.
One of the key differences between holistic dentistry and conventional dentistry is the materials we use. We avoid using dental materials that contain harmful chemicals, such as mercury and BPA, and instead use biocompatible materials that are safe for both the patient and the environment. We also take a cautious approach to dental X-rays and use digital radiography, which emits significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays.
Another aspect that sets us apart is our approach to dental treatments. While conventional dentistry often relies on invasive procedures like root canals and tooth extractions, we always explore the least invasive options first. We use natural remedies like ozone therapy and essential oils to treat dental issues whenever possible. Our goal is to help our patients achieve optimal oral health in the most gentle, least traumatic way possible.
