Welcome to Health Centered Dentistry!
Helping patients make educated, healthy choices.
Holistic dentistry is still dentistry
At HCD we still practice the care of teeth like any other dental office. We do exams and cleanings, we fill cavities, we do orthodontics. It is just that our approach to dental care is a little different from conventional dentistry. We care for the whole body. We seek root causes of your issues. We help you seek health for your mouth by looking at the health of the entire body. We are a fluoride-free and amalgam-free office. We believe it is important to remove any possible toxins from dentistry work. Our approach is supporting your whole body health while healing your mouth using holistic methods. We see patients from across the U.S. who are seeking this holistic approach. We are here for any age, infants, youth and adults!
Principles of a Whole Person Based Dental Practice
We seek the earliest possible prevention and treatment of dental malocclusion, since bite problems usually equate to physical imbalance.
We encourage the avoidance and elimination of toxins
from dental materials, and our solution is to perform metal-free dental restorations.
We help you re-establish proper TMJ function, by assuring the correct cranial balance of the head, neck, and jaws.
We educate and encourage proper and good nutrition for the prevention and reversal of degenerative dental diseases.
Holistic dentistry for mind, body, and spirit.
