Holistic health and healing has been defined as the consideration of health in the light of all factors physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. Unfortunately no one is that transcendant or that smart, and this beautiful ideal has to be tempered by practical realities.
The first principle is to be the best, most up-to-date dentists we can be. We have to know our business and do the basics properly, because we cant mask poor quality dentistry with holistic mumbo-jumbo.
The second principle is to always choose the safest, least toxic way to achieve good results and effective treatments. For example, long ago we chose to quit using mercury fillings because of the inherent toxicity, and we became experts in composite fillings instead. The result has been a track record of well restored teeth with vastly reduced toxicity.
The third principle is to bring in lessons from allied fields of healing arts. Information and techniques from osteopathy, chiropractic, massage, clinical nutrition, homeopathy, oriental medicine, and western medicine, etc., can be very relevant, and can greatly augment the effectiveness of dental treatment. The more tools we have, the more likely it is well find a solution to a given problem. Holistic can mean using the whole tool box.
A fourth principle is inclusiveness and communication. We dont see ourselves as Doctor Gods, performing a healing event upon a passive patient. We are all in this together, making choices and understanding how our work fits in to our lives and health.

Dr Andrea Mustian was professional, kind, calm, not rushed, informative, not pushy, and a good listener as we discussed the proper removal of silver/ mercury fillings. My husband and I were very impressed with her knowledge, demeanor, and the sharing of her personal experience with mercury. Considering my ongoing health issues and peace of mind I will have her remove all 5 silver fillings that are almost 6 decades old & replace them with ceramic.

I've been going to Boulder Holistic Dentistry and its predecessor for more than 20 years and feel Andrea and her whole crew offer excellent, caring service. You won't be disappointed when you choose BHD for your dental needs.

I had my teeth cleaned with and I was blown away by her knowledge and skill. I was worried about it because I was supposed to have a deep cleaning and didn't know what it entailed. She did an amazing job of explaining it to me and cleaning my teeth

I have been cared for by Dr. Koral and now Dr. Mustian for a long time. I have a complex dental history and I feel secure in their hands (literally).

Great job on my teeth and I like that they don't do needless x-rays. The dentist gave my 7 year old her first filling and it was a miraculously fast and easy experience for her. No novocaine and no pain!

I've been going to traditional dentists for years and being told I have a plethora of different issues. It was an instant completely different experience here, and I actually feel like I will be getting real results. Can't wait to go back in two weeks for more treatment. Highly recommended!

Shannon, the dental hygienist, does a fabulous job on teeth cleaning, and on general dental health education. I've been well-cared for by Boulder Holistic Dentistry since 1983! Founder and dental pioneer Steve Koral insisted on removing & replacing my mercury fillings then - a marked positive contribution to my long-term overall health. We miss the wonderful, late Steve but Dr. Mustian, Marion Koral and the whole team are terrific.

First visit. Very thorough cleaning and great advice on taking trace minerals including vulvic acid to keep my teeth healthy. Staff took the time to really care for my teeth and answer all my questions.
