Mercury Free and Mercury Safe, Holistic, Cosmetic and Family Dentistry

Dr. Yvette Collins practices holistic, mercury free and mercury safe dentistry.  Her goal is to treat her patients in the most healthy, caring, holistic way possible and to share information about dental wellness with her patients so that they may make educated decisions about their oral health. She fully understands the important relationship of oral to overall health and realizes that; "You cannot be truly healthy without good oral health!"

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

As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Collins is aware that mercury vapor and dental infections can have a negative impact on overall health. Because of this concern, we focus on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in a safe way. For information about why it's important to use a mercury safe dentist, Click Here.

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

This Whole Body philosophy stresses the use of safe biocompatible dental materials and non-invasive treatment whenever possible. Dr. Collins also works closely with highly qualified health professionals to assist her in her efforts to return the patient to optimal oral and overall health. Her Biological approach to dental treatment means that she treats the teeth, jaw, and related oral structures, with specific regard to how that treatment will affect the entire body.

Dr. Collins is a strong advocate of continuing education because it allows her to give you, and your family, the most modern and state-of-the-art dental care. Each year she takes many hours of continuing education courses and she has advanced training in many areas of biological, cosmetic and traditional dentistry.
