Why Westwood Patients Choose Rite Dentist for Biological Care

Westwood is home to UCLA and one of the most educated, health-conscious communities in Los Angeles. Many Westwood residents approach their healthcare choices with the same rigor they apply professionally — evaluating credentials, verifying protocols, and looking past marketing language to clinical substance. When it comes to biological dentistry, Rite Dentist in Valley Village is the answer.

Dr. Maryet Nikkie Babrood, DDS, FICD is IAOMT SMART certified for mercury-safe amalgam removal and holds Fellowship in the International College of Dentistry — an honor held by fewer than one percent of practicing dentists worldwide. The drive from Westwood via the 405 north takes approximately 20 minutes. Westwood patients who make that drive consistently report that the quality of care at Rite Dentist is unlike anything available closer to home.

Rite Dentist does not share the biological dentistry label with practices that use it for marketing — it shares it only with practices that hold IAOMT membership, SMART certification, and a documented materials policy. That level of specificity is what Westwood patients should expect, and what Rite Dentist delivers.

What Biological Dentistry Looks Like in Practice for Westwood Patients

For Westwood patients visiting Rite Dentist, biological dentistry is not a marketing phrase — it is a documented set of protocols applied at every appointment. No mercury has ever been placed at Rite Dentist, and all existing amalgam removal is performed under the IAOMT SMART protocol, which includes rubber dam isolation, high-volume evacuation, sectioning of the filling to minimize vapor, and supplemental oxygen for the patient. Composite restorations are BPA-free. Implants are zirconia, not titanium, for patients seeking metal-free solutions. Fluoride is not used and never offered — that is a practice-wide policy, not a request-based accommodation.

New patient visits at Rite Dentist are 60 minutes — long enough to review health history thoroughly, complete X-rays and a full exam, and discuss findings in detail. A written treatment plan is provided before any work is scheduled. For Westwood patients accustomed to thorough, transparent care, the experience at Rite Dentist is what biological dentistry should feel like: methodical, evidence-based, and respectful of the whole body.
