We see one person at a time. We listen to you, not to insurance companies that force procedures that benefit them, not you. We believe the best dentistry is to bring your teeth and mouth to a condition where you do not need us: we help you prevent nearly all gum disease, cavities, fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, implants & braces. We use methods & materials aimed to benefit the whole person: biological, holistic, neuromuscular, biomimetic, integrated, loving & respectful care.

We use methods & materials aimed to benefit the whole person: biological, holistic, health-centered, functional, neuromuscular, minimally invasive, biomimetic, integrated, loving & respectful care.
Biological Dentistry: dentistry consistent with biologyhow teeth and the body work on a cellular level. When dentists work on a tooth, we want to leave the tooth and the whole body better offmore alive, better able to function.
When I obtained my degree in biochemistry at UCLA, we were taught that mercury disrupts every enzyme in the body and is toxic, especially to the nervous system. To use mercury in the mouth as part of a restorative material, therefore, is incompatible with biology (how life works) and does not benefit the whole person, in my opinion.
Functional Dentistry: Treating teeth so they can function well, on their own as well as with the rest of the mouth and body. Cosmetic dentistry, for instance, is stable when it works well with the whole mouth. Posterior teeth must support and protect anterior teeth for the mouth to function well. Braces should put teeth where they function well, not just look cosmetically ideal the day they are removed.
Neuromuscular Dentistry: the jaw joint (TMJ), chewing muscles and bite relationship (occlusion) must work in harmony to prevent problems. Neuromuscular dental procedures are used to promote or regain this crucial harmony.
Minimally Invasive Dentistry: getting the best result while doing the least harm. For instance, to crown or cap a tooth, a dentist must often cut down and weaken the part of the tooth that is still alive and healthy to put on something fake (a crown or cap), while beautiful effective alternatives exist that avoid such harm.
Biomimetic Dentistry: procedures that mimic life. Today conscientious meticulous dentists can use advanced materials and minimally invasive procedures to restore damaged teeth to an optimal strength, function and appearance that almost mimics life. Some call this Natural Dentistry.
Preventive Dentistry: my favorite, today methods and materials exist that can help healthy people prevent the need for almost all fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, implants or dentures. In children, we can prevent the need for most braces by helping grow their faces to make room for their permanent teeth. In adults, dentists can address the major risk factors that create inflammation and infection in the body, and thereby prevent chronic diseases including heart attack and stroke.

I must say that in all my years of working with professionals of all types, I have never had the gentle care, clear communication, including options for treatment, AND expertise in doing the work that I have experienced with Dr. Pallos and Karen. In my opinion, he is Dentist who works his craft impeccably. He did surgery on me this week that many dentists wouldn't even consider doing because of the skill it took. Now, I am adding to my post, since Dr. Pallos put the lower front implants in. They are perfect and you can't even tell they aren't the original teeth! Can bite into apples again... I call that a miracle. I am forever grateful to you, Dr. Pallos.

Dr. Pallos is a dental perfectionist! This is a huge benefit to me as a patient because I know that Dr. Pallos will do it right the first time! On top of his amazing expertise as a dentist, he is holistically oriented and understands the mouth-body connection. He is caring and an all-around wonderful person. I have been his patient for close to 10 years, and even when I had to switch to HMO dental insurance through my work, I kept paying for myself and my sons to see Dr. Pallos instead of the HMO dentist. I highly recommend him as a dentist and tell everyone I know about him. Tell him Mary sent you!

An incredible surgeon. He is careful to check for allergies to anything he puts in my mouth. He uses the most up to date technology and compounds. Normally, I don't need any pain killers due to his expertise, while working on my teeth. I have known him for over 20 years and he has preserved my teeth, often rebuilding my teeth, rather than crowns and pulling teeth. It is actually a nice experience going to the dentist. He is absolutely a gift to mankind.
