Holistic/Biological Dentistry is a philosophy that recognizes that the teeth and associated oral structures are a part of the whole body. Because of this important relationship, we offer a wide range of healthy treatment options. Dr. Bressack also takes a unique Whole Body approach to oral health care; combining sound dental science, technology, and experience with a deep concern for his patients' emotional well-being and comfort. This Whole Body philosophy stresses the use of biocompatible dental materials whenever possible.
We utilize safe amalgam removal protocols based on recommendations of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), and other prominent biological and holistic dental organizations. For more information about why we use safe removal protocols and an explanation of what they are, click here.
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Bressack is aware that mercury vapor and dental infections can have a negative impact on oral and overall health. Because of this concern, his office focuses on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in a safe way.

I decided to start going to Dr. Bressack when I wanted all of my silver (amalgam) filllings replaced with non-mercury fillings. Dr. Bressack is very knowledgeable and I was taken care of in a professional and HOLISTIC manner.
