biological dentistry. The clinic is led by
Dr. Nora Ruhland, who is dedicated to providing patient-centered care that considers the connection between
oral health and the rest of the body.

This approach influences their choice of materials and treatment methods. They are a mercury-safe office, adhering to strict protocols for the safe removal of amalgam
fillings to protect patients, staff, and the environment. They also prioritize minimally invasive dentistry, using modern techniques like "Maximized Adhesive Dentistry" to preserve natural tooth structure whenever possible.
