Known as a General Practitioner in the field of Bio-energetic Holistic Dentistry. The practice provides general dentistry, dental hygiene cleanings, ceramic (Zirconia or metal-free) implants, ceramic restorations (fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers) safe amalgam removal, TMJ and other procedures.
The first goal of the institute was to evaluate existing holistic dental procedures such as amalgam removal, cavitation (NICO) surgery and tooth extraction with emphasis in detoxification and long-term patient healing. As a result, improved protocols were established with respect to a pre and post patient preparation of these procedures.
Together with Jess Clifford, creator of the first dental and orthopedic compatibility test, emphasis was placed on biochemical individuality. This is important because a material may be perfectly safe for one person, but may be toxic to another at the cellular level. Despite this scientific understanding, many untrained (and some trained) holistic dentists were still using the same materials for all patients. The Institute strove to educate both dentists and patients alike on the true meaning of biocompatibility.
The Promethean Quandary: Standardization of training elevated holistic dentistry to a higher level of competency and reliability. Although quantifiable measures of success were noted in patients dental health, the absence of anticipated systemic healing did not occur. At this point, it was obvious a new paradigm was necessary.
This school for Holistic Dentists was created to treat the medically challenged patient by focusing on the oral systemic interactions (chronic, infections, inflammation and bio-toxins from the mouth), and develop a new methodology to not just treat dental problems, but rather to address and eliminate the root causes contributing to observed systemic conditions.
The methodology quickly developed into an algorithm. The Oral-Systemic algorithm included all known root cause factors such as nutrition, immune and detoxification systems. Further, it integrated the obvious dental and medical conditions which presented themselves. An enlarged vision of the patients total health picture now began to evolve.
Once the algorithm determined what must be removed, the question of what goes in was equally perplexing. Jess Clifford emphasized the dual side of biocompatibility; that is, the immunological sensitivity (which his test measured) versus the toxicological side (which no test seemed to be able to assess). Another unsuspected problem was the issue some patients exhibited with ceramics. Although Dr. Cliffords testing showed almost all ceramics were acceptable, many patients were having negative effects. Ceramics are an inert material and blood tests could not elucidate individual reactions to ceramics.
Our group worked with an extensive array of technology and clinicians in all fields with the goal of predictable health restoration. Most technologies and protocols, however, produced some superficial, short-term healings. True long-term healings, in both dental and systemic levels, were not improved.
Despite the addition of new state of the art technologies to the enhanced dental protocols, no advances were made with respect to actual dental regeneration. These technologies included all of the following:
Although it was obvious Eastern Healing systems would transform healthcare, the not so obvious was how this would happen. I had utilized Eastern techniques before and would get what appeared to be random and unpredictable healings. Finally, I began to notice some healing patterns become evident. If these patterns could be standardized or individualized to yield predictive results, a new science could emerge.
BED is a new genre to the dental world, as holistic dentistry once was. The practice of energetic based healing goes back thousands of years with the advent of acupuncture. More current techniques involving energy healing included; Applied Kinesiology, Electro-acupuncture and a variety of biofeedback computerized systems. Currently, dental applications are solving previously unsolvable problems such as biocompatibility among ceramic restorations and implants.
The center, which is an integral component of the practice, is under the oversight of the Institute for Health Realities (IHR). The IHR is an FDA-approved Institutional Review Board, which accepts and reviews patient oriented research in a clinical setting.
A study by T. Bouquot using ultrasonography found 98% of extraction sites to be still chronically infected after 30 years. Current holistic procedures (Bone graphs and PRF) may grow bone, but that bone is essentially non-vital, that is Dead bone. In essence, all bone graphs, with the exception of some donor bone from your jaw ends up as dead bone. Dead bone attracts bacteria and can become chronically infected and now becomes a systemic problem for the patient
State of the Art Surgical Implant Center is conveniently located on site with the current dental practice. It is completely dedicated to holistic and Ceramic Implant surgery. It was completed in 2021 with a sealed surgical suite to meet and exceed sterilization standards.
We only utilize ceramic implants and have 5 different implant systems, whereas most offices may utilize only one system. This allows us to perform the highest standard biocompatibility testing for ceramics. *See Ceramic Implants in services for more details.
Less extensive surgeries result in less post- operative pain and infections. We use homeopathic and ozone during and after the procedure to reduce pain and any risk of infections. Many patients report minimal pain and no infection afterwards.
Dr. Memoli has many patients with systemic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, chronic infectious diseases (Lyme, co-infections, Epstein-Barr virus, etc.) as well as immunological and other diseases. In order to work effectively with his patients physicians or alternative practitioners, he needs to understand his patients systemic conditions.
This series of courses for integrative medicine focuses on the use of biological functional testing (tests designed for early diagnosis) and nutrition (supplementation and food as a cure) to correct pre-disease states.
Training in BioSET, founded and perfected by Dr. Ellen Cutler. It is an allergy desensitization therapy similar to NAET, but focuses more intensely on medical conditions. Dr. Memoli later applied this to dental material biocompatibility.

Considered to be the premier postgraduate study, Pankey teaches dentists in the field of restorative dentistry (fillings), occlusion (the bite, muscles and TMJ) and prosthodontics (tooth replacement options).
Dr. Spear offered a course of study in cosmetic dentistry, including the use of ceramics and porcelain restorations. The course also covered treatment planning of complex cases involving multiple specialties, such as restorative-orthodontic cases and periodontal cases.
This institute, run by Dr. Kois, concentrates on diagnosis and the treatment of complex cases. His focus is on mouths with multiple dental problems including bite problems, clenching, periodontal disease, and whole mouth reconstruction to name a few.
He helped pioneer and teach new laser protocols, which are currently being utilized today in periodontics and holistic pediatric dentistry. He is also an expert in preventative functional orthodontics.
