Biological Dentistry
Biological dentistry focuses on whole-body health by using biocompatible materials and avoiding harmful substances like mercury and fluoride. Dr. Dickerson follows this approach by prioritizing safe, holistic dental care that supports overall wellness.
What is Biological Dentistry?
Unlike conventional dentistry, biological dentistry embraces a holistic philosophy—integrating safe, non-toxic treatments and recognizing the deep connection between oral and overall health. This progressive approach includes:
- Mercury-Free & Mercury-Safe Dentistry– They use non-toxic, biocompatible materials instead of traditional mercury fillings.
- Fluoride-Free Treatments– They offer fluoride-free options, believing that excessive fluoride exposure may contribute to health concerns.
- Ozone Therapy– They utilize ozone therapy for sterilization and cavity prevention without the need for harsh chemicals.
- Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings– They follow SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocols to minimize mercury exposure.
- Holistic Wellness Focus– They consider how oral health affects the entire body, often collaborating with naturopathic doctors and other holistic practitioners.

Biological Dentistry FAQs
Both traditional and biological dentists attend dental school and uphold standards of care set by recognized governing bodies. The main difference between philosophies occurs within their approach to patient care. It is generally believed that traditional dentists diagnose and treat dental disease, often with an emphasis on prevention.
Biological dentists approach patient care with a more holistic view, seeking to understand the root cause of oral disharmony, treat the problem with modalities that do not adversely affect the health of the patient, and collaborate with the patient and their health care providers to achieve and maintain the most optimal oral and systemic health outcomes.
The term holistic dentistry dates back to the 1970s when it was made popular by the Holistic Dental Association which was developed in order to collaborate on methods of care that incorporated whole-body health. Since then, the field of holistic dentistry has continued to evolve as more understanding is gained about the role nutrition, environmental toxins, sleep, bite or TMJ disorders, and potentially toxic dental materials play in systemic health.
In more recent years, holistic dentistry has been referred to as biological dentistry. Some practitioners feel that this differentiation highlights the addition of greater surgical expertise within the field. Yet, although each individual dentist may resonate with one title over another, both terms are generally accepted as comparable.

“Dr Sharon Dickerson and her entire staff is absolutely amazing! I had been looking for a biological dentist for over a year when I came across her website. The whole office is so warm, kind and caring. They truly want to help you in any way they can. I’ve had nothing short of a positive experience here! The office space is so welcoming with state-of-the-art equipment.
I sought out a biological dentist to investigate the possibility of having infected cavitations following getting my wisdom teeth removed 10 years ago. I was having gut issues, fatigue, brain fog, skin rashes. Dr Sharon listened to my concerns and validated what I was going through. No one tried to up-sell me on any procedure and helped me to get the answers I needed.
I worked with Nicole and she was fantastic–so knowledgeable and also assisted with my surgery! Carly is absolutely wonderful, she is so caring and can answer all your questions as well as put your fears to rest. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for answers. Trust me, your health is worth it! I can’t thank Dr. Sharon and her team enough. I feel like I have my life back!”
