About Ozarks Holistic Dental
Ozarks Holistic Dental practices dentistry from a naturopathic standpoint, assessing oral health as a representation of total health and wellness. The office is located off I-65 at the Fremont exit in Ozark, Missouri, and describes its method as "slow dentistry" — an unoverbooked schedule intended to allow extended attention to each patient, within a scheduling system built to minimize wait time. Material selection drives the restorative work: the practice places no mercury amalgam, selects filling materials it considers biocompatible and BPA-free, and avoids metal alloys in prosthetics on the grounds of oral galvanism. Bridges and crowns are all-ceramic, implants are 100% ceramic, and bone grafting is autologous with platelet-rich fibrin. Ozonated water is used through dental procedures and cleanings, and the office states it aims to educate patients while offering comprehensive care.

Common Questions
How does this practice handle removal of existing mercury amalgam fillings?
The office follows the SMART protocol — Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique — recommended by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, intended to reduce potential mercury exposure to the patient and staff during removal. The practice also operates a dedicated mercury separator so that removed mercury does not enter the water supply. It places no new mercury fillings at all.
What restorative materials are used instead of metal or conventional composite?
The practice restricts itself to materials it describes as biocompatible and BPA-free, using Admira Fusion by VOCO, an all-ceramic based material fabricated without classic resin monomers that contain BPA. It also makes every effort to avoid metals such as nickel, palladium, copper, cadmium, beryllium, titanium and aluminum, citing the risk of oral galvanism, or the battery effect, in the mouth.
What kind of dental implants and prosthetics does the office place?
No metals are used in prosthetics, again on oral galvanism grounds: bridges and crowns are ceramic only, typically requiring two visits. For implants the office places Zeramex 100% ceramic implants. All implants require a bone graft, and the practice uses autologous bone grafting with platelet-rich fibrin. Partial and full dentures are referred to the dental lab closest to the patient's home.
How is ozone therapy used during treatment here?
All patients receive ozonated water during dental procedures. It is used as a rinse for inflamed gums and following tooth extraction, and ozone therapy forms part of periodontal treatment directed at the bacteria involved in gum disease. Ozonated ice is sent home with patients after a tooth removal. Ozonated water is also used throughout a hygiene appointment.
What does a fluoride-free cleaning involve, and how often is it scheduled?
The practice states that cleaning every six months is not always necessary: patients with excellent oral hygiene may attend once a year while others need to come more frequently, because each person's oral microbiome differs. A high-frequency sound wave scaler removes plaque, then teeth are polished and rinsed, with ozonated water used throughout. Patients are advised to use an electric toothbrush with fluoride-free toothpaste or baking soda.
What is done at the time of an extraction?
The office states that every effort is made to save a tooth, with extraction considered for extensive non-restorable decay, advanced periodontal disease where mobility leaves a hopeless prognosis, or an abscessed or failed root-canal-treated tooth. For all extractions, platelet-rich fibrin prepared from the patient's own blood is placed in the socket as a growth-factor-bearing filling material whose fibrin structure mirrors a natural clot.
