Holistic Dentist – Ballston Spa, NY

Holistic Dentistry, for Everyone.

Safe Mercury/Amalgam
Removal Technique

We follow the Safe Mercury/Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), involving the use of masks, water irrigation, and high-volume suction, to replace noticeable metal fillings with a safer, biocompatible material to improve the health and appearance of your smile.

Oral DNA
Certified

Dr. Dianna Cortese specializes in oral cancer research and preventive techniques, one of which is oral DNA tracking. By sending out slides of your oral DNA to be analyzed, we can find out what types of cancers you may be prone to and take protective measures.

Sedation
Dentistry

If you’ve struggled with dental anxiety in the past – rest assured our dental practice is a safe place, and we take the necessary time to ensure you are heard and comfortable. For those needing extra help, sedation dentistry is also available.

Dental Ozone
Therapy

Ozone therapy involves exposing the oral cavity to ozone gas to kill harmful oral bacteria that can lead to infections and decay. It’s also able to neutralize enamel-eroding acids by altering pH levels within the mouth to ensure healthier teeth and gums.

Full-Spectrum Detox
Infrared Sauna

Infrared light, unlike UV rays, are a completely safe part of the sun’s spectrum that’s experienced in the form of heat. With our infrared sauna therapy, you can experience a deep detoxifying treatment, allowing your body to drain toxins from mercury and bacteria by sweating.

3D Cavitation
Detection

Have you had an oral surgery awhile back and are currently experiencing symptoms of a weakened immune system? Using our 3D cone beam scanner, we can see existing cavitations (old oral infections) that could be impacting your quality of life and treat them for good.

Gluten-Free
Accommodating

There are many products that you find in dental offices that contain gluten and can trigger an allergic response, like fluoride, dental floss, the powder on dental gloves, and flavored polishing paste. We’re happy to accommodate our patients’ allergies.

Microscope Enhanced
Dentistry

When it comes to your oral and overall health, having visibility to every detail matters. With microscope-enhanced dentistry, our dentists can see detail other practitioners cannot who rely on natural vision and standard dental loupes.

The Only Holistic Dentist Within 120 Miles

Truly the best dentist experience I’ve ever had! I feel like many people get a bit of anxiety going to the dentist, but this has opened my eyes to how amazing it can be! Kendra was AMAZING. She was so informative and thorough. She explained exactly what was going on with my teeth in such a simple way and steered me in the right direction. Dr. Dreher is incredible as well.

“What a lovely experience I just had at this dental practice. Really refreshing to see a holistic doc in the area that goes the extra mile for his patient’s health. Highly recommend, also the dental technician and front desk were very knowledgeable and professional! Definitely going to be sticking with them for some time to come.”

“My daughter and I have been going to Dr. Dreher for a few years now. I have been to several dentists in my lifetime, and Dr. Dreher and his staff are the very best, bar none. Highly, highly recommended.”

“Dr. Dreher and his staff safely removed my amalgam filling. They answered everyone of my questions and listened to me about my concerns regarding waiting longer to feel number before beginning the procedure and checking in with me often to make sure I was ok. It was a really positive experience and I’m so relieved my mouth is now amalgam free. Thanks Dr. Dreher!”

“I've been a patient of Dr. Dreher's for several years now. Having had MANY traumatic dental experiences since my teen years, I experience a significant amount of anxiety with any dental issues. I was looking for a compassionate and competent dentist. Holistic care is also very important to me. Dr. Dreher came highly recommended in all areas of concern!”

“My son made me an appointment after listening to me complain about a tooth too long! Dr. Dreher is a new dentist for us, and he got me in right away for a very over sensitive tooth. His application of Novocain was above and beyond. I didn't feel it even a bit the way he pre numbed me with a topical.”

“I had shopped for a holistic dentist to remove all my mercury fillings since I was concerned about the safe removal and wanted an experienced dentist who follows the protocols as developed by the IAOMT which is all about the protection of the patient and the practitioner. Dr. Dreher fit the bill and I have been extremely impressed by him and his wonderful staff who are all extremely pleasant, well trained and professional.”

I take my health very seriously, so I was excited to find a holistic dental practice in the capital region. As a new patient, I've had a very positive experience so far. Dr. Dreher and team are very thorough and efficient in their work. It's refreshing to have a dentist who asks the right questions and actually cares about your well-being. The staff is incredibly helpful and pleasant. Definitely recommend!
