Biological & Holistic Dentists in Mesa, AZ

What the IABDM, IAOMT and HDA Listings Mean

The International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine publishes a member directory with three certification tiers above plain membership — Certified, Fellow and Master. A directory listing indicates IABDM membership; the certification tiers are earned separately and are stated on the member's own record. The tier for each IABDM clinician below is taken from that record, linked under the clinic.

The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology publishes its own member directory, with three tiers above plain membership — Accredited, Fellow and Master. SMART (the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) is a separate IAOMT certification, not a tier. The tier or certification stated for each IAOMT clinician below is taken from IAOMT’s own member data, and the member’s IAOMT record is linked under the clinic.

The Holistic Dental Association publishes a public directory of its members, each with a profile page of their own. HDA membership is an association membership with no certification tier, so an HDA clinician below is labelled “HDA member” and nothing more, and the member’s HDA profile is linked under the clinic.

What to Establish Before a Case

• Is the full SMART protocol followed for amalgam removal? SMART specifies dam isolation, high-volume evacuation, dedicated air filtration and sectioned removal — ask which elements the clinic actually uses.
• Is material biocompatibility assessed per patient? Material selection in biological dentistry is tested, not assumed.
• Are zirconia implants placed and restored in-house? Metal-free implants have their own surgical and restorative protocol.
• Which adjuncts are used, and with what evidence? Ozone and laser endodontics are adjuncts to, never substitutes for, mechanical protocol.

Case fees are typically quoted fee-for-service, cash pay. SMART amalgam removal with a composite replacement runs about $250–$450 per tooth (Real Dental Costs, reviewed May 2026), and a single-tooth implant $3,000–$5,600, with zirconia posts adding $500–$1,500 (NewMouth, updated May 2026).
