Our Holistic Approach to Dentistry
A healthy approach to dentistry with Dr. Carla Yamashiro, the holistic and natural dentist.
Holistic Dentistry considers the whole person: physically, mentally/emotionally and energetically. Optimum health begins with homeostasis or balance. Our mouth is the portal to the rest of the body. It also serves as a mirror or a reflection of what is happening throughout our body. We use advanced technologies that are minimally invasive and materials that are least toxic to your body and our environment to encourage homeostasis.
Ecologic Dentistry offers the following HOLISTIC DENTAL SERVICES:
Mercury Removal
More patients are getting wise to “silver fillings”, also known as “amalgam fillings”. These fillings might be more appropriately called “mercury fillings”. Mercury is a neurotoxin; a poison that is responsible for the degeneration of nerve tissue. READ MORE about mercury removal.
Ozone Therapy
Because ozone kills a host of pathogens and is versatile in that it can be used in various mediums such as a gas, infused in water and in oil, it has a variety of applications as well as supports and enhances conventional treatment. READ MORE about Ozone Therapy.
Natural Remedies for Dentistry
At Ecologic Dentistry, natural remedies are used for cleansing and clearing, managing dental anxiety and discomfort. Though we do use conventional medicines, we offer some alternatives for individuals who want natural solutions that are safe and effective without harmful side effects.
“Conventional” dental care with our leading edge approach at Ecologic Dentistry:
Crowns
X-Rays
We’ve taken the Image Gently Pledge. With our digital X-Rays, we are able to reduce your radiation exposure by 70-90% compared to conventional X-rays. With LUM Zero-radiation technology, we are able to minimize X-rays needed in certain cases. READ MORE about our 3-D digital x-rays and zero radiation technology.

We offer natural and minimally invasive options for bone grafts, gum recession and after care. READ MORE here.
“Dr Yamashiro is one of the few integrative dentists in Western Washington and she is well-worth a visit. There are not many who focus on such a holistic approach and avoid the standard dental toxins. Be prepared to pay at your appointment and obtain reimbursement from insurance, which they will file for you. The doctor, her team, and front office are all wonderful people.”
Our holistic and natural approach to dentistry supports your uniqueness as an individual within a unified Whole. At Ecologic Dentistry, we consider the mouth to be the portal to the rest of our body and the mouth is where wellness begins.
Our body naturally works toward establishing balance or homeostasis. We support our natural healing process by giving our body the ideal environment in which to heal itself by offering natural solutions and treatments that are minimally invasive and least toxic.
Like the childhood song “… the hip bone is connected to the thigh bone…,” your teeth are connected to your entire body. In Chinese medicine, each tooth is related to a specific organ and/or system in our body. Even the tongue is used as a diagnostic tool, as it reflects patterns of disease and conditions throughout our body.
A New Paradigm is upon us. One where Quantum Science brings understanding of Ancient Wisdom to our modern day community; where along with advances in technologies will transform our entire approach to medicine and our human experience.
In Quantum understanding, everything is Energy. Everything has a vibration, a frequency, or resonance. There is one vast quantum field to which we are all connected. It is with this understanding of our inter-connectedness that Ecologic Dentistry has been created and it is within this understanding that we work with our patients.
Integrative Biologic Dental Medicine
Integrative biologic dental medicine is defined by the School of Integrative Dental Medicine as “…dental medicine that partners the patient and dental practitioner to develop and integrate biologically safe, effective, established, and emerging treatment modalities. This allows for treatment that is not subservient to any one school of dental thought.”
Integration is the bringing together of the best in what traditional and biologic dentistry has to offer, bridging the gap between conventional and innovative thought. With Integrative Dental Medicine, both patient and doctor are active participants in seeking out, formulating, and co-creating solutions that best meet the goals for the patient.
*These are NOT medical claims and I do not practice medicine. There are significant studies and data to support this treatment plan. Every patient is different and results may vary from patient to patient.
