Holistic & Biological Dentistry
Bio-Dentistry — "the whole body dentistry." We consider how dental materials, infections, and toxins affect not just your mouth, but your entire body.
How Dental Problems Contribute to Illness
Nearly 80% of all illnesses are related entirely or partially to problems in the mouth. Bio-holistic dentistry considers how dental materials, infections under teeth, and toxic restorations affect your entire body — not just your oral health.
Dr. Serge has spent over 40 years studying the relationship between dental health and systemic wellness. His approach integrates the latest research on biocompatibility, the meridian connections between teeth and organs, and the elimination of toxic materials from your mouth.
- Infections under the teeth linked to chronic illness
- Specific teeth connected to specific organs via meridians
- Toxicity from dental restoration materials affects whole body
- Electrogalvanism from mixed metals in the mouth
The Dangers of Mercury Dental Amalgams
Mercury amalgam — commonly called "silver fillings" — are actually 50% mercury, one of the most toxic non-radioactive substances known.
A Study of 1,569 Patients
In a landmark study of 1,569 patients who had their mercury amalgam fillings removed, dramatic health improvements were documented across a wide range of conditions — from chronic fatigue and headaches to depression and digestive problems.
Mercury vapours are continuously released from amalgam fillings, especially during chewing, grinding, and consuming hot beverages. These vapours are absorbed through the lungs and distributed throughout the body, accumulating in the brain, kidneys, and other vital organs.
Dr. Serge has not used mercury amalgam in over 20 years. All of our restorations use biocompatible, non-toxic materials that are safe for your body.
Health Improvements After Amalgam Removal
- Improved energy and reduced chronic fatigue
- Reduced headaches and migraines
- Better digestive function
- Improved mental clarity and focus
- Reduced allergic symptoms
- Better mood and reduced depression
- Improved metallic taste and oral health
Backed by Leading Experts & Authorities
Our holistic approach is informed by decades of research from pioneering dental and medical professionals.
Dr. Hal Huggins, D.D.S.
Pioneer in mercury toxicity research and biological dentistry. His groundbreaking work revealed the systemic health effects of dental amalgam fillings.
Dr. Reinold Voll, M.D.
Developed the tooth-organ meridian relationship theory, demonstrating how each tooth connects to specific organs and body systems through energy meridians.
World Health Organization
The WHO has acknowledged mercury as a substance of major public health concern, with dental amalgam identified as a significant source of mercury exposure.
German Ministry of Health
Germany was among the first countries to issue advisories on mercury amalgam, recommending against its use in pregnant women and patients with kidney disease.
Biocompatible Materials & the Tooth-Organ Meridian
Every dental material we use is carefully selected for biocompatibility — meaning it works in harmony with your body rather than against it. We avoid mercury, BPA, and other potentially harmful substances.
Based on the research of Dr. Reinold Voll, each tooth in your mouth corresponds to a specific organ or body system through energy meridians. A problem with a specific tooth can manifest as issues in the corresponding organ, and vice versa. This is why we take a whole-body approach to every dental treatment.
- Non-toxic composite resins and ceramics
- Zirconia and porcelain crowns — metal-free options
- Biocompatibility testing available
- Mercury-free practice since 2005

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about holistic and biological dentistry.
Holistic or biological dentistry is an approach that considers the impact of dental health and dental materials on the entire body. Rather than treating just the teeth and gums in isolation, a bio-holistic dentist looks at how infections, toxins, and incompatible materials in the mouth can affect your overall health — including your immune system, energy levels, and organ function.
So-called "silver fillings" are actually about 50% mercury — one of the most toxic non-radioactive elements on Earth. Mercury vapours are continuously released from these fillings, especially during chewing and drinking hot beverages. These vapours accumulate in the brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs over time. The World Health Organization has recognized dental amalgam as a significant source of mercury exposure in humans.
Based on the research of Dr. Reinold Voll, each tooth in your mouth is connected to a specific organ or body system through energy meridians. For example, your upper front teeth are connected to your kidneys and bladder, while your wisdom teeth relate to the heart and small intestine. Problems with a specific tooth can manifest as issues in the corresponding organ, which is why we take a whole-body approach to dental treatment.
Biocompatible materials are dental materials that are designed to work in harmony with your body's biology. They do not release harmful toxins, cause allergic reactions, or create electrical currents in the mouth. We use composite resins, ceramics (Zirconia, Empress), and other non-toxic materials instead of mercury amalgam, nickel-based metals, or other potentially harmful substances.
When different metals are present in the mouth (for example, a gold crown near a mercury amalgam filling), they can create small electrical currents — similar to a battery. This electrogalvanism can increase the release of mercury vapours, cause metallic taste, and may interfere with the body's natural electrical signals. This is one reason we advocate for removing mixed metals from dental restorations.
No. Dr. Serge has been mercury-free for over 20 years. All restorations in our office are performed using safe, biocompatible materials. We also specialize in the safe removal of existing amalgam fillings using strict protocols to minimize your exposure to mercury during the removal process.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Serge to discuss your dental health history and goals. We'll examine your current dental work, discuss any health concerns that may be related to your dental materials, and create a personalized treatment plan that considers your whole-body wellness.
