Why Become A Patient

Improve Your Health, Brighten Your Smile… And Become A Patient

At The Center for Natural Dentistry, we take pride in our patients’ health and in the trust you put in us every time you make an appointment. We also take great pride in the long-term relationships we develop with our patients, which is why we take the time to listen to your concerns and your questions before we propose treatment. We want to make sure that our practice is the right fit for you and that you feel comfortable in our office and with our staff. 

Why Choose The Center for Natural Dentistry?

There are hundreds of dentists who would be happy to take your dental well-being into their hands, so why should you choose The Center for Natural Dentistry? Here are the Top 10 Reasons:

1. We don’t like the drill anymore than you do. While some dentists seem to grab their drill before you even have a bib on, we do our best to keep your mouth a “no-drilling zone.” We always provide safe, natural alternatives before using a drill as a last resort.
2. Our Office Won’t Make You Sick. Even if you don’t have any amalgam (silver) fillings in your teeth, your dentist probably deals with them on a regular basis, which means that every time you sit down in a dental chair, you are inhaling dangerous mercury fumes. At The Center for Natural Dentistry, we adhere to a strict Patient Protocol that ensures you won’t inhale the mercury fumes that can cause serious illness.
3. Full-Body Wellness. We consider your full-body wellness every time we recommend a treatment. Proper dental care can add as many as 10 years to your life… that’s proper dental care. That’s why we always consider how any treatment will affect you entire wellness when we present treatment options. Most dentists just “fix the problem.” At The Center for Natural Dentistry, we “treat the cause.” Further, we always test our materials to ensure that whatever we use is compatible with YOU… there is no “one-size-fits-all” mentality at The Center for Natural Dentistry.
4. Your Body is Natural, Your Doctor Should be Natural. Don’t get us wrong, we believe in science-based medical and dental practices (Dr. Marvin and Dr. Godes are a fully-licensed dentists). But your body is a natural entity. If there is a scientifically proven natural remedy for your symptoms, we believe that should always be your first option. That’s why we will always present you with natural, holistic options as well as traditional dental options. It’s your mouth, your treatment is ultimately your choice. We will present the options so you can make an educated decision of your health.
5. Holistic Treatment is Time Tested and Proven. For centuries holistic practices have been used for all sorts of medical and dental symptoms. In the Western World, science-based medicine has become the dominant player for decades, but the tide is again turning to holistic approaches. Dr. Marvin and Dr. Godes understand that not all problems can be solved naturally, which is why The Center for Natural Dentistry has implemented a healthy blend of traditional holistic approaches with western science, ensuring you always get the best possible treatments for your dental problems.
6. It’s Stress-Free. Why should a trip to the dentist keep you up at night worrying? We want you to feel comfortable with our office, our staff, and our practices, which is why we’ve created a “dental spa” that makes your dental trips as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
7. Cutting Edge Technology. At The Center for Natural Dentistry we have cutting-edge technology to ensure safe, effective, holistic dentist visits. We have the latest CEREC machine, a 3D Cone Beam CT scanner for diagnostics, a top-notch laser, and a host of other high-end, top-quality tools to provide the best treatment possible. You won’t see outdated equipment or outdated techniques… you will ALWAYS get the best of the best.
8. Experience and credentials you can trust. Dr. Marvin’s fascination with the practice of natural dentistry is firmly intertwined with his credentials as a professional dentist. Dr. Marvin and Dr. Godes are active in numerous leading-edge holistic and biologic dental associations and maintain a rigorous continuing education schedule to ensure they are always at the forefront of the best care possible.
9. We don’t pontificate. We innovate! While others may talk the talk, we actually walk the walk. Dr. Marvin has spent years of his life exploring the links between gum disease and systemic disease and, consequently, developing natural solutions to the real demands of oral hygiene and dental health.
10. You Can Check Us Out For Free! You read that right. It’s free to visit our office and take a tour. We know that holistic dental care is outside the norm for many people and we want to dispel the myths about natural dentistry. That’s why we always offer a FREE “office tour” to new patients. Come in, take a tour of our office, ask questions of our staff, and find out if The Center for Natural Dentistry is right for you.
