Holistic Dentist for Whole-Body Wellness in New Albany, OH

A biological dentist practices standard, proven dentistry while paying closer attention to the materials used and how your body responds to them. The clinical skill is the same, but the mindset is wider. Where a conventional visit may focus narrowly on the tooth in the chair, our biological dentistry approach also weighs how a filling, crown, or cleaning fits into your larger health picture. We favor conservative, minimally invasive dentistry that preserves as much natural tooth structure as possible, because your own healthy tissue is always the best material we have to work with.

Yes. Everything we do rests on established dental science and current clinical evidence. Holistic dental care does not mean trading proven treatment for passing trends. It means applying sound dentistry with added care for biocompatibility, comfort, and the mouth-body connection. 

Dr. Maryana brings more than a decade of experience across cosmetic, endodontic, and TMJ care, and every recommendation we make is one we would confidently choose for our own families. You get the reassurance of real expertise paired with a gentler, more considered philosophy.

We select biocompatible dental materials meant to work in harmony with your body. In practice, that means tooth-colored restorations and modern composites that rebuild function and beauty without unnecessary compromise. Wherever it makes clinical sense, we rely on metal-free fillings and restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

A few things guide every material choice we make:

• Compatibility with your health history and known sensitivities
• A natural appearance that matches your existing smile
• Long-term durability and a comfortable, precise fit
• Conservative preparation that protects healthy tooth structure

Yes. Our office is committed to mercury-free dentistry, so new restorations are placed with tooth-colored, metal-free materials rather than traditional amalgam. If you have older silver fillings and want to talk through your choices, we will explain what is involved and what actually makes sense for you, with no pressure to decide on the spot. Many patients simply feel more at ease knowing their dental work reflects a cleaner, more modern standard, and we are glad to offer that peace of mind.

Your first visit centers on listening before treating. We start with an unhurried conversation about your health, your history, and what you hope to achieve, then complete a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. From there, we build a personalized plan that draws on our full range of dental services and fits your priorities and timeline.

A typical first visit with us includes:

• A relaxed consultation to understand your goals and concerns
• A comprehensive exam of your teeth, gums, and jaw function
• A clear, jargon-free explanation of what we find
• A custom care plan built around your comfort and long-term wellness

Because we practice concierge dentistry, you are never moved through an assembly line. You have our full attention from start to finish.

Almost anyone can benefit, but a whole-body dental care approach especially suits people who see their health as connected and want a dentist who feels the same way. That includes patients managing their wellness closely, those who have felt rushed or unheard at other offices, and anyone who values natural-looking, biocompatible work. 

Our integrative dental care is a strong match for discerning individuals who expect a higher standard and want a lasting relationship with a provider who knows their history and respects their preferences.

Cost depends on your specific needs, since every plan is built around your mouth and your goals rather than a fixed template. New Albany Smiles is a fee-for-service practice, which means we answer to you and your health rather than to the limits of a network. 

You receive a clear, transparent estimate before any treatment begins, so there are never surprises later. Many patients find that the unhurried time, premium materials, and personalized attention deliver value that a rushed, volume-driven visit simply cannot match.

Look for genuine training, a conservative philosophy, and a dentist who takes the time to understand you as a whole person. The right provider explains your options clearly, respects your material preferences, and works to prevent problems rather than simply react to them.

A few signs you have found the right fit:

• Strong clinical credentials and years of hands-on experience
• A focus on minimally invasive, tooth-preserving treatment
• A willingness to listen and answer questions without rushing
• A calm, welcoming environment that puts you at ease

At our office, every one of these standards is simply how we practice.
