Dr. Lewis Gross prides himself on serving his community and preserving his patients’ health through effective holistic dentistry. He uses biocompatible materials and prioritizes your comfort. For over 40 years he has been offering adult and children holistic dental solutions including SMART Mercury amalgam removal, alternatives to root canals, metal-free implants, and a full-service lab offering same-day crowns. 

What drew you to this profession? I became a holistic dentist over 40 years ago because my sister, who was a psychiatrist, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis due to mercury poisoning from her amalgam fillings.

How does your work differ from others in your profession? We believe in the Terrain Theory of dental disease, which is that an acidic environment is the cause of decay and acidic erosion. We provide free pH testing and an Alkaline Oral Cleanse to balance the oral/nasal microbiome.

What should someone expect from working with you? Your visit will include a thorough search for oral cancer, saliva issues, and TMJ. All dental specialists are on-site for orthodontic and oral surgery.

How is your practice evolving in 2023? New services include cavitation surgery after CBCT, a pediatric dental holistic specialist, PRF and ozone surgery by a board-certified oral surgeon, sleep apnea and TMJ treatment, and free oral pH testing and a sample of Alka-White.

What is most important for Natural Awakenings readers to know? I’m also the inventor of Alka-White mouthwash, a safe and natural way to fight oral acidity and prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Alka-White is made for real people and their lifestyles. Unlike many other cleanses, Alka-White does not ask you to change the way you eat.
