About Systemic Dentist
Systemic Dentist practices in Sacramento, California, at 7237 E Southgate Dr #E, as one of two locations operated by a practice that has worked by referral since 1994 and receives patients from more than fourteen countries. The clinical premise is oral-systemic: that chronic oral inflammation, bite alignment and mercury exposure act upstream of measurable systemic markers, and that the mouth is therefore examined as part of a wider physiological picture rather than in isolation. Work recorded here includes zirconia dental implants, amalgam removal under the SMART protocol, cavitation surgery on unhealed extraction sites, ozone therapy, platelet-rich fibrin, periodontal therapy, biocompatibility testing, sleep and airway dentistry, TMJ/TMD and bite therapy, oral surgery, family dentistry, and nutritional and detoxification counselling. Roughly 70 percent of patients arrive on physician referral.

Common Questions
Why does this practice treat the bite before treating symptoms elsewhere in the body?
The practice holds that the first cause of failure is not decay but the bite. An uneven bite seats the jaw off-centre, the skull rotates on the atlas to keep the eyes level, and the neck compensates for the skull, so a correction at the top forces counter-corrections below. Treating the neck without the bite allows the same compensation to rebuild, which is the loop bite therapy is intended to interrupt.
How is amalgam removed here, and why does the method matter?
Mercury vapour releases under heat and drilling, so a standard removal can make a patient breathe what is being taken out. This practice follows the SMART protocol in five stages: a rubber dam isolating the tooth, high-volume evacuation capturing vapour and particulate at the source, supplemental oxygen by nasal cannula away from the field, full protective equipment for patient and operator, and sectioning the amalgam into cooled solid pieces rather than grinding it.
What is a cavitation, and why would an x-ray not show it?
When old extraction sites do not heal properly, including wisdom teeth and failed root canals, a hollow pocket of soft tissue and biofilm can remain within the jawbone. The practice describes such a lesion as invisible on a two-dimensional x-ray while remaining an active burden to the immune system, and uses cone-beam imaging rather than flat radiography to assess it.
Why are zirconia implants placed instead of titanium?
The practice has placed zirconia since 2001 and sets out the comparison directly: titanium alloy is electrically conductive and can act galvanically with adjacent metals, forms a foreign-body capsule with low-grade inflammation, and can shadow grey at the gumline. Yttria-stabilised zirconia is described as electrically inert with bone integrating against it. It also notes that bruxism roughly doubles the risk of implant loss, so bite assessment precedes material choice.
What kind of concerns do patients bring to this practice?
Reviewers describe arriving after exhausting other medical avenues, with brain fog, fatigue, inflammation, digestive problems, back pain and long-standing autoimmune conditions, and being evaluated for cavitations and mercury fillings as possible contributors. Others describe restorative and aesthetic work on the upper teeth alongside structural treatment. These are patient accounts of their own experience, not clinical findings or statements of what treatment achieves.
