Our Mission is to connect with people in a caring and deeply personal way, by helping them improve their dental and overall health while supporting their emotional, cultural, and spiritual wellbeing.
The Total Health Dentistry Approach
As one of the only IAOMT accredited Holistic dentists in Hawaii, Dr. Hartwell’s philosophy is centered on treating the root cause of dental issues rather than just the symptoms. This means using non-toxic materials, avoiding unnecessary procedures, and prioritizing minimally invasive techniques. His holistic approach focuses on:
-
Biocompatible Materials: We use metal-free, BPA-free, and fluoride-free alternatives whenever possible to reduce toxic exposure.
-
Safe Mercury Removal: If you have amalgam fillings, we follow strict protocols to remove them safely, protecting you from mercury exposure.
-
Minimally Invasive Techniques: Our goal is to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, using advanced methods to support long-term oral health.
-
Focus on Airway Health & TMJ Balance: Dr. Hartwell examines how jaw alignment and airway function impact sleep, posture, and systemic health.
-
Nutritional & Lifestyle Guidance: We provide education on how diet, stress, and overall wellness affect your oral health.
In Holistic Dentistry, Prevention is Key
Prevention plays a significant role in our holistic care model. We work with you to prevent oral health issues that could lead to more serious systemic conditions. During your checkups, we focus on lifestyle habits and risk factors that can affect both your dental and general health, empowering you to take control of your wellness journey.
Holistic Techniques and Materials
We use non-toxic, alternative dental practices to ensure your health is protected at every step. This includes using mercury-free fillings and offering dental ozone therapy, which promotes natural healing. We also prefer fluoride-free remineralization techniques, focusing on safe and biocompatible materials that work harmoniously with your body.
