Donald Robbins, DMD, an Exton, Pennsylvania dentist who treated patients from all over the Tri-State Areas of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware for over thirty years is the founder of the BioSafeDentistry dental care system. Biosafe Dentistry is a total system of dental care performed in a clean, healthy, and safe manner without the use of harmful materials such as mercury and fluoride. He is a leading advocate for the change to clean and safe dental practices and has lectured to the public, dentists and other health care providers explaining the dangers in current dental treatments.
His method of safe, effective, and painless dentistry has helped thousands of patients regain their oral and overall health. If you need dental care you can feel comfortable and safe with, BioSafeDentistry will work for you. Dr. Robbins has also written a book titled The Toxic Dental Office How to Protect Yourself and Your Family, (available on this website, on www.biosafedentistry.com).
Dr. Patrick DeForno earned his Bachelor of Science degree in psychology in 2005 from the University of Pittsburgh before attending dental school at Temples Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry, from which he graduated with his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2011. He continues his education regularly and has achieved fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, as well as studying temporomandibular disorder (TMJ) at the Pankey Institute. He is also a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
Dr. DeForno has always focused on his patients comfort and well-being as his top priority in providing care. Under the mentorship of Dr. Donald Robbins he has enhanced his dentistry to safer and healthier methods and materials.
Over the last twenty years, Dr. Robbins has advocated cleaner dental offices under progressive BioSafeDentistry principles. BioSafeDentistry is the state-of-the-art dental practice paradigm he developed to protect the patients overall health during dental care. An example of his protocols is the elimination of mercury (silver) fillings as a material for dental fillings. He uses high-efficiency office air cleaners, in his dental office, to remove the harmful mercury vapors released when old mercury fillings are removed. He also supplies these cleaners to dental offices nationwide through BioSafeDentistry.com .
Politically active, he serves on committees trying to abolish toxic materials and chemicals found in typical dental offices. He has fought to eliminate mercury from dental use, from medical vaccinations and from the environment. Because of his awareness of toxic and harmful elements in a dental office, his family practice has attracted many patients who are environmentally and chemically sensitive, and who require more intense

Great dentist and staff. Appointment was not rushed. I learned a lot and felt very comfortable in their office. Felt like I could ask questions about anything and even if our opinions differed we could have a conversation about it.

Excellent dental practice. My first visit included a set of X-rays, a full examination, and a chance to sit down with Dr DeForno and receive an education on a whole-body, nontoxic approach to modern dentistry. (Which looks and feels a lot like conventional dentistry, but with more thoughtful choices in materials, tooth conservation, and patient-driven lifestyle changes - no sales pitch) Plenty of time was given for my questions. We reviewed my X-rays and exam photos, discussed potential treatment options, and I was set up for a routine cleaning on my next visit. All of the staff members are professional and kind. Feels like a family in there! So glad I found this practice.

this entire staff and facility is very knowledgeable and welcoming. Answered any and all my questions about the holistic dentistry industry and what they use for alternatives. I even left with a goodie bag with a book included. I feel great knowing they truly know what they are talking about and are not just looking to profit off of the patient. I was able to avoid a root canal another dentist insisted I needed - but dr deforno took a look at the root cause and found another solution to save my tooth. wonderful dr. who genuinely cares and understands the patients needs and wants, and is able to find a viable solution for whatever issue is at hand. Will continually go back for all of my dentistry needs.

Dr. Deforno is a fantastic dentist! His calm demeanor put my nerves at ease as he diagnosed my issue. He really takes his time to get to the root of the problem instead of suggesting unnecessary procedures. The best dental practice I've ever visited!

Great dentist, I would highly recommend. It is not easy to find a good dentist these days. After trying a few dentist in the Exton/Downingtown area I found Patrick Deforno, him and his team do excellent work! My whole family has been going here for a few years now, we will not go anywhere else. Great staff, I can tell they really care about their patients.

With great confidence, I highly recommend Integrative Dentistry of Chester County. I have shopped around to Many different dentists. Due to my Very High standards when it comes to health and wellness it was difficult to find a practice that embodies a true holistic approach. Dr. Deforno and the staff are hands down the most friendly, respectful, skilled and professional team that I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I could go on forever about how great they are. I never write reviews . But it is the least I can do in order to spread health and wellness to others. Give them a try. You won't regret it.

I am a new patient. Everyone I met with treated me like they've known me for years. I instantly felt welcome by the staff. Dr DeForno was very personable and took time to go over things in great detail and listen to my concerns. I am looking forward to going back!

We are newer patients at Dr. DeForno's practice and we couldn't be happier. As health practitioners ourselves, we have a high standard for things that we wish to experience while under care and this place delivers on that. We value the time and level of education they give, because that builds our awareness and resources us for the longterm. As well, their dental hygienist is amazing- if you hate getting dental work, you will be happy you came here. This practice is truly a gem and worth going to. We can't recommend it enough for those who want quality care, education and comfort!

My young boys love coming to see Dr. DeForno. They used to hate going to the dentist, but now that we found this practice, there isn't any more anxiety. It's been a great experience for cleanings and fillings for the whole family!
