A holistic dentist (or biologic dentist) sees the big picture. We use dental materials that are natural, biocompatible, and toxin-free; and implement advanced therapies to improve your smile and overall health. Rather than only treating your symptoms, we will look at your mouth-body connection and address what is causing your symptoms to begin with. 

For example, gum disease can increase risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer. A holistic dentist will aim to prevent these complications. 

We can provide the best services you'd get at a conventional dentist office with a whole-body perspective.

What separates holistic dentists is that they’ve dedicated themselves, and devoted their dental training, to learn how to treat their patients with an overall health perspective.

Traditional dentistry looks at symptoms with almost complete disregard for what’s causing the problem.  Holistic dentists take their oath to “do no harm” very seriously with a conservative/preventive approach to treatment. When a service is needed, our patients will be educated and we will provide the option that requires the least risk for the most reward. 

Did you know that “silver” or amalgam fillings are actually 50% mercury?

Despite the common knowledge that mercury is a deadly toxin.

You’ve heard that you should limit your tuna intake right? Well, that’s because it has a high mercury content.  Yet the World Health Organization estimates that 20% of mercury toxicity is related to diet, whereas 80% is related to dental amalgam! And even though 28 other countries have banned its use, many dental offices in the US still use it. All without any regulation - not even a minimum age limit! 

Mercury is the most neuro-toxic, non-radioactive element on the planet. Even more so than lead and arsenic!  And dental research now concede that mercury vapor is released by unstimulated amalgam fillings 24-hours a day. Chewing, brushing, temperature increases and clenching/grinding have been shown to release even more! This crosses right over the blood-brain barrier and can cause…

⁃ Mood issues like Depression, Irritability & Anxiety

⁃ Sleep issues like Insomnia

⁃ Neuromuscular & Sensory issues

⁃ Respiratory and Kidney problems

⁃ And Cognitive issues like Brain Fog. 

The IAOMT (The International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology) has established the SMART protocol as the standard in the dental industry for silver filling removal. Here, our dentists are trained in this procedure and can SAFELY remove your silver fillings. Then, we can replace them using biocompatible and natural materials that are not only non-toxic, but better looking too! 

While root canals can be effective, there are so many potential issues in even the most “routine” root canal, making true success almost unobtainable. The odds are stacked against long-term success with root cancels, and indeed, studies are showing that problems usually do occur at some point for rooted teeth.

Option #1: Have the root removed and replaced with a ceramic implant. 

Option #2: Keep the root canal healthy with biomimetic restorations and our team’s advice on keeping your oral microbiome healthy. 

The best thing to do is have our experts examine your root canals to look for hidden infections and guide you in the best path forward. 

Ceramic (or zirconia) implants have incredible mechanics, good stability, high biocompatibility and high resistance to scratching and corrosion.  Not only are they practical, but they also provide you with excellent esthetics, a naturally white color, better gum health and research shows no adverse immunologic, tissue or bone reactions to these implants.
