Detailed Introduction

Whole Health Dental Center, located in Falls Church, VA, is a distinguished dental clinic founded and directed by Dr. Felix Liao, a globally recognized leader in biological and holistic dentistry. Unlike traditional dental practices, the center operates on the philosophy that oral health is intricately linked to overall systemic health, a concept Dr. Liao champions through his innovative approach. Dr. Felix Liao, with over three decades of experience, has pioneered the concept of "Impaired Mouth Syndrome" (IMS), identifying the mouth as a crucial, often overlooked, source of various dental and medical issues, including chronic pain, fatigue, poor sleep, and compromised posture. His work bridges the gap between conventional dentistry and functional medicine, aiming to resolve root causes rather than just symptoms. The clinic offers a unique blend of Biomimetic and Biological Dentistry. Biomimetic dentistry focuses on restoring damaged teeth in a way that mimics the natural tooth structure, using minimally invasive techniques like air abrasion and stress-reduced composite restorations to avoid traditional crowns and root canals whenever possible. Biological dentistry, on the other hand, emphasizes the use of biocompatible materials and safe practices, such as mercury-free and metal-free restorations, safe mercury amalgam removal (SMART), and ozone dentistry. Whole Health Dental Center utilizes advanced diagnostic tools like digital radiographs and 3D imaging to provide comprehensive assessments. Their services extend beyond typical dental care to include biological periodontal therapy, oral DNA testing, and nutritional counseling, reflecting their commitment to a holistic approach. Dr. Liao is particularly renowned for his work with epigenetic oral appliances, designed to redevelop jaw structures and improve airway function, leading to significant improvements in patients' breathing, sleep quality, and overall energy. Dr. Liao is a best-selling author of books such as "Six-Foot Tiger, Three-Foot Cage: Take Charge of Your Health by Taking Charge of Your Mouth" and "Early Sirens," which delve into his insights on the mouth-body connection. He is also a past president of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) and frequently lectures to healthcare professionals worldwide, promoting the "Airway-centered Mouth Doctor (AMD)" movement. Patients from around the globe seek his expertise for complex, resistant health issues stemming from oral imbalances. The clinic's patient testimonials often highlight significant improvements in chronic conditions, energy levels, and overall well-being after undergoing his holistic treatments.

Dr. Liao’s oral appliance treatment greatly improved my breathing and voice - which was a huge gift as I am a singer!! He is super friendly and always makes himself easily accessible outside of the office if you have questions. A+!!!

Dr Liao is truly amazing. He has done more for my wife's brain injury than the 20 doctors we have seen in the past 10 months. I know a dentist helping my wife with brain injury by treating her jaw. . . . . .

. . crazy right. We'll Dr Liao was able to adjust my wife's jaw bite and she was immediately able to walk closer to normal than I have seen after months of treatment by physical therapists and other practitioners. Truly Amazing. We will continue working with him and I will try and update this review after a while.

Dr Liao is wonderful! We travel nearly 5 hours to come and see him. He has even been willing to see us after hours to accommodate us because he knows we travel from far. We spent hours researching the best options for our children's jaws and oral development. We previously consulted a different provider with a large reputation (and large prices to go along with that), who emailed us identical cut and paste reports and treatment plans for our children, with no images.

Dr Liao took the time to walk us through our children's imaging, showing us the measurements and calculations, and explaining his individual treatment plans for each child. His prices also reflect the difference in complexity, whereas the other provider was happy to charge us the same (higher) price for both children. Dr Liao was upfront about any possible limitations as well. As a former neurodevelopmental physiotherapist, the importance of the tongue as such a powerful muscle that can affect oral development, posture, and biomechanics makes so much sense to me.

Likewise, the possible physiological impacts that can result from reduced oxygen due to underdeveloped/impaired jaws. We are so glad we found Dr Liao and greatly appreciate his holistic approach.

You will not find a better dentist than Dr. Felix Liao! He understands the health of your teeth and your body and sees them both as a whole. If it were not for Dr. Liao my son would have never been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Dr. Liao knew with just a hand shake that my son's thyroid was not working as it should. My son is now healthy and happy! My son also had a very narrow jaw. Now, his jaw is wide enough to hold all of his teeth and his teeth have naturally straightened thanks to Dr.

Liao's knowledge of the DNA appliance and good nutrition. I drive over 3 hours each way just to see Dr. Liao and it is worth it!!! He even sees my son on Saturdays if we can not make it in for an appointment during the week. He is available by phone and e-mail 7 days a week. He always answers my questions that same day! My son and I always feel welcome and cared for whenever we visit his office. Dr. Liao also has an amazing staff!!!
