Services
Holistic Dentistry
Our holistic approach considers how dental treatments affect overall health, using biocompatible materials and non-toxic methods. We examine the mouth-body relationship during every visit, addressing issues like mercury fillings that may impact systemic health. Our preventative care focuses on long-term wellness through minimally invasive techniques.
Safe Mercury Removal
We specialize in mercury-safe filling removal using advanced equipment and protective measures. Our protocol includes alternative air sources, triple suction, and rubber dams to minimize exposure. We provide educational resources about mercury toxicity and its potential health impacts during consultations.
Non-extraction Orthodontics
This approach straightens teeth while improving airflow and jaw function without removing healthy teeth. We use techniques that expand jaw space to correct alignment and address sleep breathing disorders. Treatment is available for patients up to 70 years old.
Root Canal Treatment
We offer both traditional root canal treatments and extraction options for infected teeth. Our approach considers potential systemic effects of residual bacteria in root canals. We provide comprehensive consultations to help patients decide between treatment alternatives based on their health needs.
TMJ & Sleep Therapy
Our non-invasive treatments address temporomandibular joint disorders and sleep breathing issues. We use natural airway enhancement techniques to improve sleep quality and alleviate symptoms like headaches and migraines. Therapy focuses on correcting jaw relationships to improve overall quality of life.

Questions
What is holistic dentistry, and how is it different from traditional dentistry?
Holistic dentistry takes a whole-body approach, considering how dental treatments affect overall health. Unlike traditional dentistry focusing on teeth and gums, we examine how materials and procedures impact your entire system.
Are holistic dental treatments safe and effective?
Yes, our treatments use biocompatible materials and non-toxic methods. Dr Chong follows evidence-based practices and stays updated with the latest research to ensure safety and effectiveness for all procedures.
What types of fillings do holistic dentists use?
We use mercury-free materials like composite resins and porcelain. These biocompatible options blend naturally with teeth while avoiding potentially harmful substances found in traditional amalgam fillings.
Can holistic dentistry help with overall health?
Yes, oral health directly impacts systemic wellbeing. We've seen patients improve conditions like chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia by addressing dental issues such as TMJ disorders and mercury toxicity.
How do holistic dentists treat gum disease?
We use non-invasive treatments like laser therapy and deep cleanings targeting bacteria without surgery. We also recommend natural remedies and dietary changes to support your body's healing processes.
What alternatives exist to root canals in holistic dentistry?
Options include extraction followed by dentures, bridges, or implants. We'll discuss all possibilities to determine the best solution balancing oral health with your overall wellbeing needs.
