Health Inspired Dentistry offers family dentistry, holistic dental care, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign®, veneers, teeth whitening and dental cleanings. The office is at 6151 Wilson Mills Rd. Suite 300, Highland Heights, OH 44143, which shares the 44143 ZIP code with Richmond Heights. Dr. Katherine Myron and Dr. Crystal Pursche treat children, adults, and older patients, and same-day emergency dentistry is available. Restorative services include fillings, crowns, bridges and dental implants. Patients can book by calling (440) 484-3227 or by using the online appointment request form.
Richmond Heights sits directly west of our Highland Heights office, close enough that both cities share the 44143 ZIP code. Our dentist provides preventive exams and cleanings, treats decay and gum disease, repairs damaged teeth, and handles urgent problems such as sudden pain or a broken tooth. Health Inspired Dentistry does all of that from 6151 Wilson Mills Rd., a straight run east along Wilson Mills Road from the Richmond Road intersection.
Philosophy is what varies most between practices. Ours is holistic, so biocompatible materials are the default, ozone therapy is used where the situation calls for it, and older mercury fillings are removed under safe amalgam protocols. Diet, sleep, and jaw tension come up in conversation because they genuinely affect teeth. Nothing goes into your mouth without a reason we can explain in plain language.
Two dentists see patients at Health Inspired Dentistry. Dr. Crystal Pursche started out as a registered dental assistant in 2004, later earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and completing a General Practice Residency at Hartford Hospital. Her continuing education covers dental implants, bone grafting, Invisalign, aesthetic restorative dentistry, and occlusion.
Practice owner Dr. Katherine Myron holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, a Master’s in Oral Health from Boston University, and advanced training from The Pankey Institute in cosmetic dentistry, occlusion, and TMJ therapy. For Richmond Heights households, the practical benefit of a two-dentist practice is continuity. One office holds your full history, and appointments stay easier to book.
A family dentist in Richmond Heights should be able to look after a six-year-old and a seventy-year-old without sending either one elsewhere. Ours does. Preventive care covers professional cleanings and dental sealants for younger patients, while restorative care covers fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays and dental implants for adults who need more substantial work.
Cosmetic dentistry sits alongside both, with bonding, veneers, teeth whitening, Botox®, skincare solutions and Invisalign clear aligners available in the same practice. Emergency dentistry can be completed the same day, which matters in a residential city where the nearest alternative may mean a trip to an urgent care clinic. Holistic care runs through everything, from the materials we place to the questions we ask.
Families who specifically want a holistic dentist get the full range of general services here without trading one for the other. We will also say plainly when a small problem can carefully be watched rather than treated straight away.
A dental cleaning every six months does more preventive work than any other appointment on our schedule. Hygiene visits clear the hardened tartar that brushing cannot reach, catch early decay while it is still small, and give us a look at gum health before problems become expensive. Patients who have skipped a few years are not lectured about it, and the first dental cleaning back is kept gentle.
Teeth whitening lifts the surface staining that coffee, tea, and red wine leave behind, and it is supervised so the gums stay protected. Veneers are may be a more effective solution when the problem is structural rather than color, since composite resin can rebuild a chipped edge or close a small gap in one visit. Invisalign suits adults in Richmond Heights who want alignment corrected discreetly, using removable trays rather than fixed brackets.
Each of these is quoted before treatment begins. Mild sensitivity after whitening is common and usually settles within a day or two.
Missing and failing teeth are common among older adults, and restorative dentistry addresses both. Dental implants, crowns, and bridges each solve a different version of the problem, and the right choice depends on how much healthy bone and tooth structure remains. Implants integrate with the jaw through osseointegration, which is why they feel stable enough to chew normally. Our fillings are placed in Admira® restorative composite, chosen for biocompatibility rather than convenience.
Technology keeps this work accurate. Bone loss tends to show up on imaging long before a patient notices any symptom, and oral imaging shows bone levels and root position before any implant or extraction is planned. Digital scanning replaces the traditional molds that made impressions unpleasant. Shorter appointments and better-fitting restorations are the practical result for patients.
TMJ therapy, custom nightguards, and sleep apnea treatment round out our services. Jaw pain, morning headaches, worn tooth edges, and disrupted sleep are often connected, and Dr. Myron’s Pankey Institute training in occlusion shapes how we evaluate them. Patients who grind at night usually leave with a nightguard rather than a series of repairs later on.
For households without dental benefits, Health Inspired Dentistry runs an in-house membership plan that reduces the cost of care at our practice. It is aimed at uninsured patients and typically covers the routine work that keeps bigger problems away, including exams, cleanings, and imaging. Savings can then be applied to treatment that comes out of those visits. Our team can walk you through what the plan currently includes and what it costs.
Comfort was deliberately designed into this office. Blankets, beverages, aromatherapy, and lip balm are standard, and an on-site masseuse is available around your appointment if you find dental visits stressful. Reviews from Richmond Heights and the surrounding Cuyahoga County suburbs mention the calm atmosphere as often as the dentistry itself. Word of mouth from neighbors brings in many of our new patients, which is what a residential city tends to produce.
Clinical standards sit behind the comfort. Mercury-free fillings and careful replacement protocols for older amalgam are standard here, which is what most people are actually looking for when they search for a holistic dentist in Richmond Heights. Early morning openings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday work well for parents and for anyone who would rather not lose an afternoon. Pain relief, straighter teeth, and improved oral health are the outcomes we plan around.
We accept new patients and will review your coverage in advance so there are no surprises. Call (440) 484-3227 to schedule a visit or request care for a dental emergency. Get in touch with our Highland Heights team whenever you are ready to begin.
Health Inspired Dentistry accepts new patients from Richmond Heights and the surrounding Cuyahoga County communities. A first visit includes an exam, any imaging that is clinically needed, and a conversation about what you want from your teeth. Connect with us at (440) 484-3227 or use our online appointment request form.
A first hygiene visit begins with an exam and a review of your medical history before any instruments come out. The hygienist then removes plaque and hardened tartar, polishes the teeth, and checks gum health by measuring pocket depths. Anything unusual gets flagged for the dentist to look at during the same appointment. If several years have passed since your last dental cleaning, the work may be split across two visits.
Ozone therapy uses ozone gas for its antimicrobial properties, and we apply it in specific situations rather than as a routine addition to every appointment. It can reduce bacteria in the area being treated and supports healing in certain cases. Our dentist will tell you when it is appropriate and when it is not needed. It forms one part of the holistic approach here, not a replacement for standard care.
Older amalgam fillings can be replaced with tooth-colored composite, and we follow safe amalgam removal protocols intended to limit exposure to mercury vapor during the process. Replacement is not urgent for everyone, so our dentist will assess whether each filling is actually failing or simply old. Admira restorative composite is what we place instead. Ask for an assessment at your next exam before making a decision.
Health Inspired Dentistry opens early on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with appointments starting at 8:00 am. Monday hours run from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm. Early slots tend to fill quickly because they suit people who would rather not take time off work, so booking a few weeks ahead helps. Call the office at (440) 484-3227 to check what is currently open in the schedule.
Teeth commonly shift after orthodontic treatment, particularly once retainers stop being worn consistently. Invisalign is often able to correct this kind of relapse, and such cases tend to be shorter than full orthodontic treatment because the movement required is smaller. A digital scan shows exactly how far the teeth have drifted. Book a consultation and your dentist can tell you what is realistic for your teeth.
A broken tooth is not always an emergency, but pain, bleeding, or a sharp edge cutting your tongue means it should be seen promptly. Rinse with warm water, keep any fragments you find, and use a cold compress if there is swelling. Avoid chewing on that side until you are seen. Call (440) 484-3227 as soon as the office opens to schedule a visit or request care for a dental emergency.
