What the IABDM and IAOMT Credentials 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.

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). These are ranges, not quotations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a listing here mean the dentist is accredited in biological dentistry?

No. The IABDM and the IAOMT each publish a member directory with separate tiers — the IABDM’s Certified, Fellow and Master; the IAOMT’s Accredited, Fellow and Master, with SMART a separate IAOMT certification. Each listing on this page states the tier its own credential body records — the clinician’s IABDM record, or IAOMT’s own member data — and that body’s record is linked under the clinic.

How many verified biological dentists practise in West Chester?

2 credentialed clinicians at 2 clinics in West Chester, PA hold a verified biological credential as re-verified on 22 October 2026 (1 IABDM member · 1 IAOMT member).

Has any clinic paid to be listed here?

No. No clinic has paid to be listed — this is a community-driven, free directory built on public and member listing data. Any credentialed clinic can request a listing at no charge, and free listings are not capped. Each city and specialty also has one clearly-labelled promoted listing, awarded first come, first served: it is placed first in the list, never decides whether a clinic is listed, and its credentials are verified exactly like every other listing.

What should a patient verify before booking?

Confirm the credential directly with the issuing body rather than relying on a clinic website; ask which elements of the SMART protocol are actually used for amalgam removal; ask how material biocompatibility is assessed; and confirm the clinic is fee-for-service before discussing case cost.
