nutraDentist is a distinctive dental practice based in Pittsburgh, PA, that operates on the philosophy of holistic dentistry. This approach recognizes that oral health is intricately linked to the overall health and well-being of the entire body, extending beyond just the teeth and gums. The practice is led by Dr. Mark Buzzatto, a holistic healthcare professional specializing in safe amalgam removal, cavity reversal, and nutritional support for dental issues, and Dr. Lauren Buzzatto, a seasoned dental professional with over 30 years of experience. They are supported by a team of specialists including a clinical manager, education specialist, wellness advocate, board-certified Traditional Naturopath, and certified salt and light therapy specialist. At nutraDentist, the core mission is to promote health and wellness through natural healing and preventative care, rather than solely treating existing diseases. They are committed to using biocompatible and non-toxic materials in their treatments, making them a "mercury-free" and "fluoride-free" practice. This aligns with the principles of holistic dentistry, which often involves avoiding substances that could have adverse reactions on the body. The services offered by nutraDentist encompass a blend of traditional dental care and holistic therapies. Patients can expect standard dental check-ups and cleanings, alongside more specialized treatments like safe amalgam (mercury filling) removal, which is performed following strict protocols to eliminate mercury exposure. They also focus on nutritional support, understanding the impact of diet on oral and systemic health. Unique to their practice are amenities and therapies designed to enhance the patient experience, such as relaxing music, aromatherapy, salt therapy, and infrared sauna detox therapy, all contributing to a calming and comfortable environment. nutraDentist emphasizes patient education, empowering individuals with knowledge about their health to encourage proactive and preventive care. They delve into underlying causes of dental issues, considering a patient's overall health, lifestyle, and diet when developing treatment plans.
