About FIND

Holistic Dental Center is a West Los Angeles practice operating from a private office on W Olympic Blvd, working within an integrative approach that treats dental care as inseparable from whole-body health. Its stated service range centres on biocompatible restorative materials, which the practice screens for individual tolerance using kinesiology and Clifford testing before they are placed. Amalgam fillings are removed under rubber dam with supplemental oxygen, and digital radiography is used to reduce radiation exposure by roughly 90 percent compared with conventional film. Gum treatment is performed noninvasively with lasers. Alongside the operative work, the practice offers nutritional guidance, homeopathic remedies as an adjunct to or in place of drugs, and referrals to outside practitioners for chelation, blood analysis, acupuncture, colon therapy, sacral cranial work and chiropractic care. A clinician here is recorded with the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine.

Common Questions

How does this practice decide which restorative materials to use?

The practice states that biocompatible restoration materials are analyzed through kinesiology and Clifford Tests. Rather than applying one default material to every case, material selection is screened against the individual patient first, which is the core of the biocompatibility approach described on the services page.

What protocol is followed for removing mercury amalgam fillings?

The services page describes safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings using a rubber dam and oxygen. The rubber dam isolates the tooth being worked on from the rest of the mouth during removal, and supplemental oxygen is supplied to the patient throughout the procedure.

What radiographic imaging does the office use?

The practice uses digital X-rays and states that this reduces radiation by 90 percent relative to its prior imaging. Patients have also noted that radiographs are avoided in children unless considered necessary, consistent with a conservative approach to diagnostic imaging.

Is periodontal treatment here surgical?

The practice lists noninvasive gum treatment using laser procedures among its services. Laser periodontal therapy is offered in place of a conventional surgical approach to gum treatment, though the specific protocol for any individual case is determined at the practice.

Does the practice address anything beyond the mouth itself?

Yes. Nutritional guidance, homeopathic remedies in addition to or in place of drugs, and aromatherapy are listed services. The practice also refers patients to other healthcare professionals for chelation, blood analysis, acupuncture, colon therapy, sacral cranial work and chiropractic care, reflecting an oral-systemic framing of treatment.

How do patients describe a first visit?

Reviewers describe long appointments with time given to questions, muscle testing used to select an anesthetic compatible with the patient, pH checked at each visit, and an educational emphasis on the relationship between dental and overall health. Several report conservative treatment planning with only necessary work proposed.
