Dana G. Colson, D.D.S. M.B.A.

With Wellness Based Dentistry™ clients are receiving dental care that preserves more than their teeth. With a strong belief that the mouth indicates the general well-being of the whole body, Dr. Dana Colson, along with her Associates, are bringing together leading-edge technology and natural medicine to give clients award-winning smiles that enhance their lives.

In her own words:
Having graduated from Dentistry in 1977 from the University of Toronto, I was fascinated with how the health of the body was reflected in the mouth.
My interest in dentistry stemmed from my fear of dentists. I chose the profession of dentistry because I was determined to overcome my fear of dentistry and help others. The more I learned about the art and science the more my fears diminished. I believe that our clients need to be provided with significant information about their mouth and the various options that are available to them so that we can co-diagnose and co-explore the different opportunities together. Today the technology allows us to create amazing results with minimally invasive dentistry.

I am an Alumni and graduated after completing 9 courses at the Kois Institute in Seattle. I have been a Kois Mentor since 2014. (This education has been compared to the Harvard School of Business).

Wellness Based Dentistry™ offers a full range of dental services, including conservative cosmetic treatments and orthodontics. The practice has been amalgam (silver-mercury) free since 1983. An integrated approach to all dental treatments creates the best results for our clients. Rosemary and Jelena consult with clients on creating treatment plans and coordinating information testing and detoxification programs with other health care providers.

Diagnostic chairside mock-ups are available with follow-through photography to envision the future for cosmetic and functional changes. We have upgraded our technology to be able to offer patients a diagnostic scan using our Itero Element Scanners to monitor gum recession and tooth wear over time. Our digital scanners also display a force analysis and allow us to preview the possibilities Invisalign (invisible braces) can achieve for you.

Your smile can be your best anti-aging part of your body. We welcome new patients and are happy to explore the possibilities to enable you to keep your teeth and very best smile for a lifetime.
