About Whole Health Dentistry
Whole Health Dentistry practices at 1824 State Street in Santa Barbara, treating the mouth as a gateway to systemic health. The practice describes its work as wholistic dentistry: minimally invasive technique paired with biocompatible, non-immune-triggering materials, with metals and BPA excluded from restorative work. Dental materials are tested for biocompatibility to support function, healing and tissue integration, and oral biofilm is examined under a microscope for bacterial information. Amalgam fillings are removed under the SMART protocol developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, with corroding galvanic metals replaced by inert resin and ceramic restoratives. Recorded procedures include zirconia ceramic implants, in-house CEREC ceramic crowns, advanced ozone therapy, full-arch and All-on-4 implant restoration, porcelain veneers, airway therapy and oral surgery completed in a single visit in an on-site surgical suite.

Common Questions
What does Whole Health Dentistry mean by a metal-free office?
The practice states it is a metal-free office and avoids metals, BPA and substances it considers immune-triggering. Restorative work uses biocompatible options such as Swiss-made zirconia ceramic implants and body-safe fillings, chosen so materials do not corrode over time. Where corroding galvanic metals are present, they are replaced with inert resin and ceramic tooth-restoring materials.
How is amalgam removal carried out here?
Amalgam is removed following the SMART protocol, the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
How does the practice decide which materials suit a given patient?
Materials are tested for biocompatibility before use, with the stated aim of supporting natural function, healing and tissue integration while preventing harmful reactions, toxicity or adverse responses. The practice also tests oral bacteria to identify which materials work with an individual's body chemistry, and examines oral biofilm under a microscope for bacterial information that informs the wider oral-systemic picture.
What does airway therapy involve at this practice?
Airway therapy is offered for patients whose symptoms suggest obstructed breathing, including snoring, frequent night waking, morning headaches, unrested sleep, difficulty concentrating, jaw, neck, ear or shoulder tension, and clicking or grinding in the jaw. Custom-made oral appliances, FDA-approved for mild to moderate sleep apnoea, are used to hold the airway open during sleep; the same appliances are used for bruxism and TMJ-disorder symptoms to limit wear on teeth and joints.
Can multiple procedures be completed in one appointment?
Yes. For patients facing health concerns, complex dental needs or anxiety, the practice offers completion of a comprehensive treatment plan in a single session with an anaesthesiologist present, in its on-site surgical suite. That session can include cleanings, restorations, tooth extractions and dental implant placement. Oral sedation and nitrous oxide are also listed among the sedation options.
How do I arrange a first visit, and where is the office?
The office is at 1824 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. The practice invites text messages at +1 855.441.0001 and office calls at 805.729.5480, and offers online appointment booking. It states that a request submitted through its form is followed by a call or email to confirm the date and time, and that the first visit produces a treatment plan built around the patient's history and goals.
