Healthy, Biological, and Mercury Free, Mercury Safe Dentistry

Dr. Terrence Messerman practices biological, biocompatible dentistry and has been mercury-free and mercury safe for over 28 years. His goal 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!"

As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Messerman 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.

Biological/Holistic Dentistry is a philosophy that recognizes that the teeth and associated structures are a part of the whole body.

Dr. Messerman takes a Whole Body approach to dentistry that promotes overall health and wellness, not simply the treatment of dental disease. We work closely with other health professionals who can support the patient's efforts to achieve optimal health and well-being. His Health-Centered approach to 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.

Dr. Messerman believes that continuing education is a powerful tool that allows him to give you and your family the best, state-of-the-art dental care. Each year he takes many hours of continuing education courses and he has advanced training in many areas of holistic, cosmetic, and conventional dentistry.
