Mercury Free, Biological, Health-Based, Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Chester Yokoyama is a mercury free dentist who believes that dental wellness is a state in which the mouth and the rest of our being should be in balance and harmony. Dental disease, and other oral health issues, can upset that balance and create disharmony in the rest of the body. Based on his philosophy, Dr. Yokoyama takes a Whole Body Dentistry approach to dentistry; one that promotes overall health and wellness and is not just limited to treating your teeth.

Our office safely removes and replaces mercury amalgam (silver) fillings based on the recommendations of the renowned International Academy or Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT).

As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Yokoyama is aware that mercury vapor and dental infections can have a negative impact on overall health. Because we offer the latest in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, we are also able to replace amalgam fillings with the best, and safest, material available. Dr. Yokoyama's philosophy of biological/holistic dentistry recognizes that the teeth, and associated structures, are an integral part of the whole body.

His Whole Body philosophy of dentistry stresses the use of safe biocompatible dental materials whenever possible. Dr. Yokoyama 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.

Dr. Yokoyama 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.
