About Systemic Dentist
Systemic Dentist is a biological dental practice at 2701 Ocean Park Blvd Suite 108 in Santa Monica, operating by referral since 1994 and drawing patients from more than fourteen countries. The work is organised around the oral-systemic thesis the practice states plainly: chronic oral inflammation drives systemic CRP, bite alignment shapes sleep quality, and mercury inhibits mitochondria. Clinical protocols reflect that framing. Structural bite therapy uses a single non-surgical appliance to rebalance occlusion through the skull, neck and shoulders; amalgam removal follows the SMART protocol's five stages of rubber-dam isolation, high-volume evacuation at the source, supplemental oxygen by nasal cannula, full protective equipment, and sectioning amalgam into cooled solid pieces rather than grinding it. Cone-beam imaging is used to investigate unhealed extraction sites invisible to two-dimensional radiography. Zirconia implants have been placed here since 2001. Recorded procedures also include biocompatibility testing, ozone therapy, platelet-rich fibrin, periodontal therapy, sleep and airway dentistry, TMJ/TMD therapy, and nutritional and detox counselling.

Common Questions
Why does this practice treat the bite before treating decay?
The practice holds that the first cause of failure is not decay but the bite. An unbalanced bite is described as radiating from the jaw through the skull, into the neck, and down to the adrenals and sleep: the skull rotates on the atlas to keep the eyes level, and every joint below compensates. Treating the neck without the bite, the practice states, allows the body to rebuild the same compensation within weeks.
What happens during amalgam removal here?
Removal follows the SMART protocol in five stages. A rubber dam seals the tooth from the rest of the mouth; high-volume evacuation captures vapour and particulate at the source; supplemental oxygen is delivered by nasal cannula away from the field; patient and operator wear vapour masks, face shields and gowns; and the amalgam is sectioned and removed in cooled solid pieces rather than ground into dust. The stated aim is that the load comes out without being inhaled.
What is cavitation surgery and why would an x-ray miss it?
When old extractions such as wisdom teeth or failed root canals do not heal properly, a hidden cavity of soft tissue and biofilm can remain in the jaw. The practice describes this as a hollow pocket of unhealed bone that is invisible to a two-dimensional x-ray but active to the immune system, and uses cone-beam imaging to identify it.
Why does this practice place zirconia implants rather than titanium?
The practice contrasts the two materials directly. Titanium alloy is electrically conductive and can be galvanic with adjacent metals, provokes a foreign-body capsule with low-grade inflammation, and can leave a grey shadow at the gumline over time. Yttria-stabilised zirconia is described as electrically inert with no galvanic interference, integrating with bone without a chronic immune signal, and white beneath tissue. Zirconia has been in use here since 2001.
What kind of patient does this practice usually see?
Care is delivered by referral, with roughly seventy percent of patients referred by physicians and arrivals from more than fourteen countries. Reviewers describe coming after exhausting other medical avenues, with complaints such as brain fog, fatigue, inflammation and digestive or autoimmune problems, and being evaluated for cavitations and mercury fillings as possible contributors to those symptoms.
