Holistic Dentistry Serving Sherman Oaks Patients

Dr. Maryet Nikkie Babrood, DDS, FICD, is one of the Los Angeles area’s most credentialed holistic dentists, and Sherman Oaks patients are just a 7-minute drive from her Valley Village practice. She built Rite Dentist on a single conviction: that dentistry done right protects the whole body, not just the mouth.

Holistic dentistry, also called biological dentistry, begins with the understanding that what goes in your mouth affects every system in your body. The mercury in traditional silver amalgam fillings, the fluoride in standard cleaning protocols, the BPA in many composite resins — these are not trivial concerns. Dr. Babrood completed rigorous IAOMT SMART certification specifically to address them, and every protocol at Rite Dentist reflects that commitment.

For Sherman Oaks families who have grown accustomed to seeking out cleaner food, cleaner products, and cleaner environments, Rite Dentist offers the dental care to match. No mercury. No fluoride. No BPA. Biocompatible materials chosen for systemic safety. And a doctor who has the credentials — USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, FICD fellowship, IAOMT membership — to back up every recommendation she makes.

Why Sherman Oaks Patients Choose a Biological Dentist

Biological dentistry takes evidence seriously. The IAOMT SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol exists because removing old mercury fillings without proper precautions releases a burst of vapor that is absorbed far more readily than passive exposure. Dr. Babrood is SMART-certified and follows every step of the protocol — rubber dam, high-volume evacuation, sectioning the amalgam to minimize drilling, supplemental oxygen for the patient — on every removal case.

Beyond amalgam, biological dentistry means choosing BPA-free composites for white fillings, offering zirconia implants as a metal-free alternative to titanium, conducting hygiene visits without fluoride, and using ozone therapy to address decay with minimal drilling. It also means paying attention to the airway. Dr. Babrood screens for sleep-disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea, conditions with serious cardiovascular and cognitive consequences that often present first in the dental chair.

Dr. Babrood earned her DDS from the USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, holds the FICD designation from the International College of Dentistry, serves as a Board Member of the San Fernando Valley Dental Society, and is an active IAOMT member. Sherman Oaks patients receive the same standard of care that these credentials represent — unhurried, honest, and anchored in science.

“I built Rite Dentist as the practice I always wished existed as a patient — one that tells you the truth, uses materials safe enough for your whole body, and gives you time to actually understand your own health.”
— Dr. Maryet Nikkie Babrood, DDS, FICD
