New Patients
Welcome to Your New Patient Experience at Well Being Dentistry in Santa Clara
Choosing a dental home is a significant decision for your health. At Well Being Dentistry, we don’t just “clean teeth”—we partner with you on a journey toward systemic wellness. Our bio-individual protocols ensure that all materials and treatments are matched to your unique biology, including considerations for chemical sensitivities and personal health goals.
Through co-diagnosis, you are an active participant in every decision about your care, not just a passive recipient of a “drill and fill” plan. Whether you are seeking mercury-safe dentistry, holistic pediatric care, or advanced biocompatible restorations, we are honored to welcome you to our community.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to prepare for your first visit and start your path toward a healthier, more vibrant smile.
Your First Holistic Consultation: A 360-Degree Health Discovery
We believe in transparency and comfort. Your first visit is a comprehensive “Discovery Session” where we listen to your goals and evaluate your health through a lens of medical-dental integration. We assess the oral-systemic link, including key markers for inflammation and potential nutritional deficiencies, to better understand how your oral health connects to your overall well-being.
Making Biocompatible Dentistry Accessible: Insurance & Financing
We believe that high-quality, biocompatible dentistry should be accessible. Our team is expert at navigating the complexities of dental benefits to ensure you receive the maximum value from your coverage.
We work with most major PPO insurance plans. While many “holistic” procedures are specialized, we strive to code your treatments accurately so that your insurance provider covers as much of the biocompatible alternative as possible.
For larger restorative cases—such as Zirconia implants or full-mouth mercury removal—we offer several flexible payment solutions:
CareCredit®
Interest-free financing options for qualified applicants.
Cherry
Specialized for larger-scale dental reconstructions.
In-House Wellness Plans
For patients without insurance, we offer a yearly membership that covers preventative care and provides discounts on all biological services.
Recommended Products for Holistic Home Care
Maintaining a healthy oral microbiome starts at home. Based on our clinical philosophy, we recommend products that are free of artificial dyes, SLS (foaming agents), and endocrine disruptors.

Frequently Asked Questions: Biological Dentistry
General & New Patient Questions
What makes Well Being Dentistry different from a traditional dentist?
Unlike traditional offices, we practice biological dentistry. This means we view oral health as a critical component of your entire body’s wellness. We use biocompatible materials, prioritize mercury-safe protocols (SMART), and evaluate how your teeth, airway, and nutrition impact your systemic health.
What should I expect during my first "Discovery Session"?
Your first visit is much more than a cleaning. It is a comprehensive assessment where we listen to your health goals, perform low-radiation digital diagnostics, and evaluate your gums, bite, and airway. We use co-diagnosis, meaning we show you exactly what we see on high-definition monitors to build a plan together.
How do I prepare for my first appointment?
To give you the most thorough care, we ask that you complete our Online Patient Forms before you arrive. These forms are unique; they cover sleep quality, nutritional habits, and sensitivities to metals or chemicals, allowing us to tailor our biocompatible treatments to your specific biology.
Insurance & Financing
Do you accept dental insurance for holistic treatments?
Yes! We work with most major PPO insurance plans. Our team is highly experienced in navigating the complexities of dental benefits. While some “holistic” procedures are specialized, we strive to code your treatments accurately to ensure your provider covers as much of the biocompatible alternative as possible.
What if I don't have dental insurance?
We believe wellness should be accessible to everyone. For patients without insurance, we offer an In-House Wellness Plan. This yearly membership covers your preventive care (cleanings, exams, and X-rays) and provides exclusive discounts on all of our biological services.
What financing options do you offer for large reconstructions?
For larger restorative cases, such as Zirconia implants or full-mouth mercury removal, we offer two flexible solutions:
CareCredit®: Ideal for interest-free financing for qualified applicants.
Cherry: A specialized option with high approval rates for larger-scale dental reconstructions.
Biological Care & Products
Why do you recommend Fluoride-Free products?
We focus on remineralizing enamel naturally. We recommend Hydroxyapatite-based toothpastes (like RiseWell or Boka) because they strengthen teeth using the same mineral your teeth are made of, without the systemic concerns associated with fluoride.
Are the products you recommend safe for sensitive patients?
Absolutely. We only recommend products free of artificial dyes, SLS (foaming agents), and endocrine disruptors. Our goal is to support a healthy oral microbiome by balancing pH and using natural ingredients like Xylitol and essential oils.
Do you offer guidance on supplements for dental health?
Yes. Strong teeth and jawbones require the right building blocks. We often discuss the importance of Vitamins K2, D3, and Magnesium as part of your customized treatment plan to ensure your body has what it needs to maintain your smile from the inside out.
Your journey toward a healthier, more beautiful smile begins with a single step. We can’t wait to meet you and help you achieve the wellness you deserve.
