Biocompatible, Whole-Body Care. No Fear Tactics.

A holistic dentist in Beverly Hills treats your mouth as part of your whole body, not a set of teeth in isolation. You want care with biocompatible materials, a light touch, and straight answers. At his office on South Beverly Drive, Dr. Joseph Goodman offers mercury-free, metal-free dentistry grounded in evidence. Trained in Germany, where biological dentistry has deep roots, he saves natural teeth whenever he can. You get honest, whole-body care, with no fear and no upsell.

Holistic dentistry, also called biological dentistry, uses materials chosen to work with your body and a whole-health view of your care. Holistic care covers the same general dentistry services you expect, with a different material list and it respects the real link between your mouth and your overall health. It does not mean skipping proven treatments or making claims no science supports. Below you will find what holistic care involves, how it differs from a standard visit, whether it is safe, and what to expect at your first appointment.

What is holistic dentistry?

Holistic dentistry, also called biological dentistry, is dental care with a whole-body view. It uses biocompatible materials, favors minimally invasive treatment, and considers how your oral health connects to the rest of you. The proven core is real. Gum disease, for example, is linked to heart disease and diabetes.

The whole-body idea is sound when it stays grounded in evidence. Your mouth is a window into your health, and inflammation in your gums does not stay in your gums. A good holistic dentist uses materials many patients prefer and treats the causes of disease, not only the symptoms. It does not mean fear tactics or unproven cures, and Dr. Goodman keeps a clear line between the two.

What does Dr. Goodman's holistic approach include?

Dr. Goodman’s holistic care centers on biocompatible materials and a light, tooth-preserving touch. He uses mercury-free, BPA-free fillings and metal-free ceramics, and he removes old amalgam safely when you want it gone. The services below make up his whole-body approach.

  • Mercury-free, BPA-free composite fillings, and metal-free zirconia crowns
  • Metal-free zirconia dental implants for patients who want no titanium
  • Safe removal of old amalgam fillings, with protective isolation
  • Ozone therapy to disinfect and to treat early decay before it spreads
  • Minimally invasive care, so more of your natural tooth stays intact
  • Referrals for nutrition and detox support, so your care extends past the chair

Every material gets matched to you. His mercury-free fillings bond to the tooth and need less drilling than old metal ones. His ozone therapy gives a gentle way to treat early decay. You hear the reason behind each choice before anything begins.

Holistic dentistry versus traditional dentistry, what changes?

The procedures stay proven. The materials and the lens change. A holistic dentist uses biocompatible, metal-free materials and asks how a treatment fits your overall health. A traditional visit focuses mainly on the tooth in front of the dentist. Both fill cavities, treat gums, and place crowns. The difference is in the approach and the materials.

Factor Holistic dentistry Traditional dentistry
Materials Mercury-free, metal-free, BPA-free May include amalgam and metal
Focus Whole-body health and prevention The tooth and the symptom
Old amalgam Safe removal offered on request Often left in place
Approach Minimally invasive, tooth preserving Standard restorative care
Proven procedures Same fillings, crowns, cleanings Same fillings, crowns, cleanings

The overlap is bigger than the marketing suggests. A holistic dentist still treats gum disease, still places crowns, and still uses anesthesia. What changes is the material list and the attention to your wider health. Dr. Goodman blends both, so you get modern dentistry with a whole-body view.

Is holistic dentistry safe and legitimate?

Holistic dentistry is safe when it stays evidence-based, and much of it is standard dental care with a different material list. The mouth-body link is well documented. The risk comes from fringe claims, not from biocompatible fillings or safe amalgam removal. Here is an honest read on where it stands.

  • The oral-systemic link is real. Gum disease is associated with heart disease and diabetes
  • Biocompatible materials suit patients with metal sensitivity or a preference to avoid metal
  • Safe amalgam removal uses isolation and suction to limit exposure
  • Some claims have no scientific support, and Dr. Goodman will not make them
  • Holistic care does not cure medical conditions, and no honest dentist promises so
  • You still get anesthesia, X-rays, and proven treatment when you need them

Who benefits most? Patients who want metal-free materials, who have sensitivities, or who value prevention and a whole-body view. If a treatment will help, Dr. Goodman recommends it. If a popular idea has no evidence behind it, he tells you plainly. We do not sell fear.

What happens at your first holistic visit in Beverly Hills?

Your first visit starts with your full health history, not only your teeth. Dr. Goodman reviews your medications, allergies, and goals, examines your mouth, and talks through material options. You leave with a clear, conservative plan and honest pricing. Many holistic services cost the same as standard care.

Routine holistic care, like exams, cleanings, and fillings, is often covered by insurance the same as any dental visit. Purely cosmetic work usually is not. We review your benefits with you, give an honest quote before any treatment, and take CareCredit if you want to spread the cost. You see the full picture up front.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a holistic dentist do?

A holistic dentist treats your teeth and gums while considering your whole-body health. Care centers on biocompatible materials, prevention, and the link between your mouth and the rest of you. The Mayo Clinic calls oral health a window to your overall health. Dr. Goodman uses mercury-free materials, removes old amalgam safely, and offers ozone therapy, all within proven dental care.

Are holistic dentists legitimate?

Yes, when the care stays grounded in evidence. The core idea rests on real science. The Cleveland Clinic links gum disease to heart disease and diabetes, which shows why oral health matters beyond the mouth. The caution is around fringe claims with no support. Dr. Goodman practices the evidence-based side and will not sell you fear or unproven cures.

Do holistic dentists use anesthesia?

Yes. Holistic dentists numb the area and manage pain like any dentist. The material list changes, not the pain control. The ADA notes dentists use local anesthesia so procedures cause little to no pain. Dr. Goodman uses modern anesthesia, and he adds gentle tools like ozone and lasers where they help. You stay comfortable throughout.

What do holistic dentists do instead of root canals?

A responsible holistic dentist does not avoid a needed root canal. When a tooth can be saved, saving it is the conservative choice. The Cleveland Clinic describes a root canal as a safe way to clear infection and keep your tooth. Dr. Goodman treats infected teeth to save them, and only removes a tooth when it cannot be saved, replacing it with a biocompatible option.
