Hello, my name is Dr. Gene Sambataro and I am pleased to welcome you to our website.

I'd like to take a few moments to tell you about us and to share with you why I and my staff think our dental practice is such a special place. I'd also like to share what we hope to accomplish for our patients, the public and other professional health care providers.

Why I Focus on Biological Dentistry

The truth is, I could not passively stand by anymore, waiting for my patients and fellow health care providers to make healthier decisions in their lives. I know that most people are either misinformed about or unaware of the risks of traditional dental practices and the benefits of biological care.

If you knew what I have learned about the dangers of mercury amalgam fillings, fluoride, toxic root canals and gum disease, your decisions about dental health care would be quite easy to make.

For example, there are many physicians that report nearly 80% of all illnesses are related to infections, toxicities and imbalances in the mouth.

I choose to focus on biological dentistry because I believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in the practice of dentistry. A transformation that will shift the focus of dental practices away from the emergency treatment of symptoms towards compassionate, comprehensive and preventative biological care that fully embraces the philosophy of Hippocrates: "'First do no harm".

What You Will Find Special About Our Practice

In a lot of ways, this office is probably different than any other dental practice you have ever been to.

First, I should mention the skilled professionals on our staff. I am exceptionally proud of the people who make up our team because I know each of them will go out of their way to make you feel at home, welcome and comfortable during your visit.

We work hard to provide you with a facility that is welcoming as well as a healthy environment where you can relax and focus on healing.

When it comes to patient care, our office is special because of our continuing commitment to education and training that allows us to give you the very best care available.

Currently, I am studying for a naturopathic degree and a Ph.D. in nutrition. Today this training lets us evaluate and treat the whole body, safely remove toxic materials and replace them with individually selected biocompatible (life supporting) materials.

Throughout the world there are only a few dentists trained to offer these kinds of services. And, even among these few, not all of them are aware of the extensive safety protocols necessary to protect themselves and their patients from possible toxic side effects of mercury amalgam filling removal.

Nor are they aware that, in some situations, it is safer to leave the toxic mercury amalgam fillings in place than it is to remove them.

Finally, we have a unique goal for our patients. We want our patients to need less care.

When you began reading about the comprehensive care we offer, you might have assumed this meant more frequent and more expensive visits, but the opposite is true. We have developed a program that, if followed over a lifetime, will actually minimize your visits to the dentist.

Today we can even offer a lifetime guarantee on special restorative materials that actually strengthen the teeth, instead of corroding and splitting them the way amalgam fillings will.

Success for us is helping you to attain a high level of wellness and then teaching YOU how to maintain it. Then the only time you have to see us is for confirmation that everything looks fine.

The Choice is Yours

Well, you made it through my whole introduction, so it looks like you're already committed to educating yourself about the options out there for better care.
