​A NATURAL HOLISTIC APPROACH TO DENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.
The Brand Wellness Center - Enlightened Dentistry
A great professional practitioner that cares about your teeth and overall wellness. Dr. Brand has a caring and complete holistic approach to dental care. I always enjoy every visit (oddly, since it is the dentist after all!) ;) and leave feeling refreshed and renewed.

Had been looking for a REAL holistic dentist for a while, ran into some fake so called ones. But just as I was about to give up I found Dr. Brand's office and my health has been improving ever since 😇 I've had all the metal fillings removed on the right side of my mouth due to severe nerve pain which helped SO MUCH. She's also recommended me seeing another doctor to help with other health issues and that is a great success.
Still working on healing a tooth abscess naturally and have the whole right side to get replaced with new fillings but I'm looking forward to the journey. Pain free and happy 😇

Dr. Brand is THE BEST dentist I have ever been to. I almost look forward to visits ;) I originally found her to remove the mercury fillings from my mouth as she practices the proper and safe protocols. Not only did she do that, but I received a chakra tune up when finished - first time I've ever felt comfortable at a dentist's office! . . . is the first dentist I've ever been to that took great care to make sure I was comfortable and not feeling the drill - expert hands. She also helped me follow a protocol to avoid a root canal in another tooth - which if you've never read her or other writings on the dangers of the root canal - please do. Highly recommend!!

All dentists, whether holistic or traditional, are trained in the same methods at the same dental schools, and must be licensed by their State Boards. A holistic dentist, also referred to as a biological dentist, takes a comprehensive approach that focuses on whole body wellness as related to the oral cavity (teeth, gums, tongue, etc.) Holistic/biological dentists use non-toxic restorative materials for dental work, and emphasize the unrecognized impact that dental toxins and dental infections may have on a person's overall health.

Testimonial:
I decided to have my four amalgam fillings removed, and despite not having dental insurance, I chose Dr. Brand because she follows IAOMT protocol.
My experience was fantastic! :) Dr. Brand has deep knowledge of her field and is generous about sharing it. She's down-to-earth, friendly, and highly intelligent. I fully understood my treatment plan and pricing at all times, I was given verbal and written instructions for follow-up care, and I did not feel pressured into any decisions. Best of all, Dr. Brand has a "light touch" - I felt zero pain/discomfort during my procedures, and had easy recoveries with no complications. Truly the best dentist I've had.
Overall, the level of attention and care I received from Dr. Brand and her staff was incredible. They are a pleasure to work with and I'm happy to have found them.
