As a dentist, you might not be neighbors and partners with a yoga studio, but you can benefit from a few tips from Dr. Peter Igoe.

This Western New York practitioner, shown above in a photo courtesy of Orleans Hub, believes in whole body health, which means that your teeth are related to your overall whole body health: healthy teeth equals healthy body.

A recent shift in his practice location offers a significant benefit.

“There’s a positive energy, a positive atmosphere,” Dr. Igoe told Jim Krencik of The Daily News in a recent interview.

Dr. Igoe references the connection between a business that began sharing a roof with his practice in 2015:  Igoe 2 Yoga,  his wife Laura’s studio.

According to The Daily News Online, the couple is making full use of their new West Center Street Extension building, a 3,325-square-foot building with the yoga studio and dental office sharing space to encourage a connection between dental and full-body health.

As a dentist, he offers a number of comfort-enhancing options at his new office in Medina, and it’s no stretch to assume his wife’s business does the same. Dr. Igoe’s patients benefits from:

• wide windows, which offer a view of the Erie Canal from the five dental hygiene and operatory rooms.
• space planning, which  creates efficiency and time savings. A CAD/CAM milling unit that turns ceramic blocks into implants sits a short walk away the operatory room where teeth are X-rayed by a handheld, digital unit and crowns designed on a computer inside the room.
• informed patients, courtesy of televisions that can be swung to display x-rays and explanatory videos.
