Holistic Dentistry
As a holistic dentist (also known as an integrative or biological dentist), Dr. Rondriguez provides dental treatments that take into account not just the health of your teeth, but your whole-body wellness. She knows that what happens in your mouth affects your entire body, which is why she is very mindful about what dental materials and procedures she uses to treat your teeth and gums.
Toxic-Free
Dentistry
Dr. Rodriguez practices “toxic-free dentistry,” an approach that prioritizes oral health while minimizing potential harm to the rest of the body. She uses biocompatible, non-toxic materials and techniques that support overall wellness and is a proud member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), an organization dedicated to reducing exposure to harmful substances in dental care.
You may be surprised to learn that many conventional dental materials and products contain substances such as mercury, BPA, certain metals or harsh chemicals, which studies say may contribute to inflammation, allergic reactions or other health concerns in sensitive individuals. Toxic-free dentistry uses safer alternatives whenever possible—using advanced ceramics, composite materials and low-toxicity products—to maintain strong teeth and gums while minimizing potential risks to overall health.
While medications like antibiotics can be necessary and lifesaving in specific situations, Dr. Rodriguez uses them thoughtfully and only when clinically indicated, since overuse can disrupt the body’s natural balance and contribute to resistance.
Ozone
Therapy
Dr. Rodriguez uses ozone, a highly oxygenated form of oxygen, to disinfect and support healing naturally. Ozone therapy is gentle on healthy tissue, helps decrease inflammation, promotes faster healing and supports the body’s natural immune response.
PRF and Exosomes to
Boost Healing
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and exosomes are regenerative tools Dr. Rodriguez uses to enhance the body’s natural healing process. PRF contains growth factors that promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation; it is taken from a small sample of your blood that is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate it. Exosomes are used by cells to signal when repair and regeneration are needed at the cellular level. Dr. Rodriguez uses a combination or PRF and exosomes to accelerate your healing, improve your comfort and provide healthy outcomes following dental treatments, especially tooth extractions.

Safe Amalgam Removal
Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) is a careful method Dr. Rodriguez uses to remove old metal (mercury) fillings while minimizing exposure. She is certified by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology in this treatment.
Cavitation
Treatments
A cavitation is a small area of dead or soft bone that can form when a tooth extraction site doesn’t fully heal. People with cavitations may experience ongoing fatigue or a general sense of feeling unwell without a clear cause. If you’ve had a tooth removed in the past and have been feeling this way, call us today to schedule an examination!
Cavitation can occur when the periodontal membrane—the thin tissue surrounding a tooth—is left behind after an extraction. Because the bone may “think” the tooth is still present, it doesn’t heal properly, leaving a hollow or spongy area in the jaw. These hidden areas of infection, known as cavitations, can contribute to chronic pain, inflammation or broader health concerns. Dr. Rodriguez thoroughly removes the infected tissue and uses ozone and PRF to disinfect the area, improve blood flow and support the body’s natural healing process.
Composite
Fillings
Dr. Rodriguez provides composite fillings that are safe and biocompatible. Unlike metal fillings, they are made from tooth-colored resin and do not contain harmful chemicals like mercury. They are fluoride-free and BPA-free.
Zirconia
Implants
Dr. Rodriguez offers zirconia implants as a metal-free alternative to traditional titanium dental implants. Made from a high-quality ceramic material, zirconia is naturally resistant to corrosion and does not conduct electricity, which makes it a preferred option for patients seeking a more holistic or toxic-conscious approach to dental care. These implants are also aesthetically pleasing because their white color can blend more naturally with surrounding teeth and gums.
