Integrative Dentistry or Holistic Dentistry is to meld the best practices of traditional knowledge and medicine with the more recently recognized alternative practices to traditional care. The results of integrative/holistic care are desired to be less invasive and seek to identify root causes of disease rather than to mask or only treat the symptoms.
A truly integrative dental experience assesses not only the health of teeth and gums, and what lies within the mouth but considers the overall health of the individual and how it can be affected by conditions of health or the lack of health as it may exist in the mouth. No matter where you are on your journey, we want to work alongside you to improve your health, increase longevity, and achieve your goals.
As a certified NMD and naturopathic medical doctor, my practice also relies heavily on nutraceuticals and nontraditional therapies such as ozone and laser therapy applications for tooth, gum, and bone infections.
We are a ‘mercury safe’ practice that uses a specific protocol to protect yourself (and ourselves) from the mercury vapors created when removing old mercury fillings.
Biological or Holistic Dentistry (also known as Biological or Whole Body Dentistry) is the delivery of dental care with an understanding and appreciation of the far-reaching effects the materials used have on our bodies and the importance of oral/dental health in promoting and sustaining a person’s systemic health.

At LAVU Dental we are proud to be offering a state-of-the-art dental office combined with the knowledge and concerns for your entire body health. This is known as Biological, Holistic, Whole Body, or Biocompatible Dentistry. Our focus is not only the health of your teeth and gums, but of your entire body that may be affected by improper restorations, poor occlusion, or periodontal infection.
