Mercury Free & Mercury Safe, Holistic, Health-Focused, Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Stephen Markus is a holistic/biological mercury free and mercury safe dentist and he is dedicated to practicing safe and healthy dentistry. His mission is to treat his patients in the most healthy, caring, holistic way possible and to share information about dental wellness with his patients so that they may make educated decisions about their oral health. He fully understands the important relationship of oral to overall health and realizes that; "You cannot be truly healthy without good oral health!" 

He is dedicated to the practice of holistic, health-focused dentistry. As your Oral Health Care Doctor, Dr. Markus is aware that mercury vapor and dental infections can have a negative impact on overall health. Because of this concern, our office focuses on patient education and strives to remove mercury amalgam fillings in a safe way.

To accomplish this, we utilize removal protocols based on recommendations of the renowned International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). For more information about why we use safe removal protocols and an explanation of what they are, Click Here.

Dr. Markus's philosophy of biological dentistry recognizes that the teeth, and associated structures, are an integral part of the whole body. Because of this important relationship we offer a wide range of healthy treatment options. Dr. Markus also takes a unique Whole Body approach to oral health care; combining sound dental science and technical experience with a deep concern for his patients' emotional well-being and comfort.

This Whole Body philosophy stresses the use of safe biocompatible dental materials whenever possible. Dr. Markus also works closely with qualified health professionals to assist him in his efforts to return the patient to optimal oral and overall health. His Health-Focused approach to biological/holistic dentistry means that he treats the teeth, jaw, and related oral structures, with specific regard to how that treatment will affect the entire body.

A Personal Note from Dr. Tom

I know Dr. Markus personally and know him to be a very highly trained, experienced and skilled mercury free and mercury safe, biological dentist. I am impressed with the depth of his knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and his effort to educate his patients.

He is one of the pioneers in promoting mercury-safe, biological dentistry and in the use of cutting edge technology and treatment protocols. He is also aware of the importance of safely removing mercury and other heavy metals from the teeth and body. His extensive training in all areas of biological dentistry, his advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, and his concern for the safe removal of amalgam fillings makes him ideally suited to remove and replace them.

I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a caring, experienced biological and mercury free dentist. He is also very creative, has a great sense of humor and is a nice person. Dr. Markus is a Charter Member of the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD). He has a great website, very informative and interesting and I encourage you visit his website to learn more about Dr. Markus and his approach to healthy dentistry.
