Services
Safe Amalgam Removal
Our IAOMT-certified protocol ensures safe amalgam removal with protective measures like rubber dams and vacuum systems. We replace fillings with biocompatible materials, collaborating with holistic practitioners for post-removal detoxification. This process minimizes mercury exposure for patients and the environment while prioritizing long-term health.
Biocompatible Materials
We use compatibility testing to select dental materials that align with your immune system. Our mercury-free, fluoride-free options reduce health risks while providing durable restorations. This approach prevents adverse reactions by avoiding metals and chemicals that may trigger sensitivities in chemically vulnerable patients.
Invisalign Clear Braces
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom, removable aligners that are nearly invisible. This method improves airway function and bite alignment with gentler forces than traditional braces. Patients enjoy easier oral hygiene and comfort during the 1-1.5 year treatment period.
ALF Appliances
ALF appliances use light forces to realign teeth and cranial bones through craniosacral therapy principles. This holistic approach addresses structural imbalances in children and adults, often reducing the need for traditional braces. Treatment lasts 1-3 years with continuous wear of the flexible wire appliance.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone gas disinfects deep dental tubules and periodontal pockets, killing pathogens that antibiotics can't reach. We apply ozonated water and oils to accelerate healing, reduce sensitivity, and combat gum disease. This natural antimicrobial enhances recovery after procedures like cavity treatments and oral surgery.

Questions
What is integrative dentistry?
Integrative dentistry combines modern dental techniques with biological principles, focusing on how oral health impacts overall wellness. We use non-toxic materials and holistic therapies to treat patients as whole individuals.
Are your materials biocompatible?
Yes, we test for material sensitivities and use mercury-free, fluoride-free options. Our biocompatible restorations avoid triggering immune reactions, ensuring safer, longer-lasting dental work tailored to your body's needs.
How is amalgam removal performed safely?
We follow IAOMT guidelines with protective measures like rubber dams, coolants, and vacuum systems. Removed mercury is disposed of using amalgam separators to prevent environmental contamination during the replacement process.
What makes Invisalign different from braces?
Invisalign uses removable clear aligners that straighten teeth without metal brackets. This method offers greater comfort, easier oral hygiene, and shorter treatment times (1-1.5 years) while improving both aesthetics and bite function.
Do you offer eco-friendly practices?
Yes, we use digital X-rays (80% less radiation), bamboo flooring, and non-toxic disinfectants. Our amalgam separator prevents mercury pollution, and we minimize waste with reusable dental tools and recyclable materials.
