We intentionally work to provide you and your family with safe and biocompatible material choices while avoiding concerning substances like mercury, fluoride, BPA, and unnecessary radiation. You deserve to feel safe asking questions about your dental care.
How can my mouth health affect my overall health?
Many patients are not actually aware of how much their oral health affects their overall health. Infections and inflammation in the mouth can lead to or worsen other serious health issues, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers, as well as contributing to a higher likelihood of suffering from Alzheimers, a stroke, or a heart attack. A healthy mouth is an integral part of achieving and maintaining whole-body wellness.
What is holistic dentistry?
Holistic dentistry focuses on the direct link between your oral health and the systemic health of your entire body. We aim to treat the causes of any oral health challenges you face. Simply treating symptoms is never enough, as your issues will likely resurface. Instead, we want to work directly with you to create lasting solutions to give you the health and well-being that makes you want to smile.
Holistic dentistry may be a bit different from what you’ve experienced in the past, by taking a look at you as a whole instead of just individual teeth. Considering how your medical history or how any issues that you’re dealing with could be connected to problems you have in your mouth. Looking at materials that are in your mouth and how that may be related to concerns that you have. A lot of times we’ll have patients come to us that are frustrated because they’ve just been brushed off when they raise concerns about things like mercury in their mouth, or fluoride use, either in them or their children. You deserve to be in a healthcare setting where your questions are respected, they’re responded to, and you’re not brushed off for being difficult or going against the grain. You need to be a part of your healthcare choices. You need to be empowered to make decisions that line up with what your goals are. And we want to create a safe place where that is addressed, and we’re coming alongside you to help you achieve the healthcare goals that are important to you.
Why should I consider safe mercury removal?
When removing and replacing mercury amalgam fillings (the silver-colored metal ones), specific procedures are in place to reduce the risk of mercury exposure. Mercury fillings are often replaced due to the impact these fillings can have on the body. Mercury is toxic and makes up for about 50% of silver amalgam fillings, leaving patients at risk of exposure. Safely removing mercury amalgam from your mouth ensures a healthier smile!

What is the importance of metal-free dentistry?
Metal-free dentistry focuses on using biocompatible materials to restore the smile. We use BPA- and metal-free materials, such as composite resins and metal-free ceramic crowns, bridges, and veneers. We can also replace missing teeth with metal-free zirconia implants, metal-free abutments, and crowns.
Safe Mercury Removal
During the removal and replacement of mercury amalgam fillings (silver-colored metal fillings), we use specialized protocols to reduce mercury exposure.
Gum Disease Treatment
Modern research constantly teaches us how interconnected the mouth and the rest of the body are. Part of our commitment to addressing the whole-body health of our patients is educating them on how interrelated gum disease is to many other systemic illnesses and risk factors.
What is ozone therapy?
Our dental team utilizes ozone in various ways to treat many dental and oral health conditions. Ozone therapy uses ozone gas (O3) to eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms. It is a safe, effective treatment that can help improve overall health.
