Holistic Dentist in Woodland Hills, CA

HOLISTIC · BIOLOGICAL · MERCURY-SAFE

Woodland Hills families choose dentistry that protects the whole body.

Dr. Maryet Nikkie Babrood, DDS, FICD, built Rite Dentist around a single principle: your dental care should never work against your health. For Woodland Hills families who already live consciously — close to the trails of the Santa Monica Mountains and the wellness-forward shops along Ventura Boulevard — Rite Dentist offers the only logical next step: a practice where every material, every protocol, and every recommendation is grounded in biocompatibility.

Biological dentistry is not a trend — it is a clinical framework that places your systemic health at the center of every treatment decision. At Rite Dentist, this means we do not place mercury amalgam fillings, we do not use fluoride treatments, and we vet every restorative material for BPA content before it comes anywhere near your mouth. When we restore a tooth, we restore it with materials your body can live with long-term.

Woodland Hills is one of the most health-forward communities in the West Valley. Its residents have high expectations for every professional they trust with their wellbeing. Rite Dentist earns that trust every day by giving patients the complete picture — what is actually in their mouth, what the research says about those materials, and what their options are. That level of transparency is rare in any medical setting. At Rite Dentist, it is the norm.

Why Woodland Hills Patients Choose a Biological Dentist

Many Woodland Hills patients come to Rite Dentist because they have done their research. They know that conventional dental amalgam is 50% mercury by weight and that mercury vapor is continuously released from those fillings. They want it out — safely. Dr. Babrood holds IAOMT SMART certification, which means every amalgam removal follows a strict multi-step protocol that uses a rubber dam, sectioning techniques, oxygen for the patient, and proper evacuation to ensure that more mercury is not introduced into your system during the removal process than the filling itself would have released over time.

For families with children, Rite Dentist is particularly valuable. Pediatric patients are especially vulnerable to heavy metal exposure, and our fluoride-free, mercury-free philosophy extends to every patient regardless of age. When children receive their first fillings here, those restorations will be biocompatible composites — not something they will need to have removed safely years later.

Dr. Babrood trained at USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry and holds Fellowship in the International College of Dentistry (FICD) — a credential awarded to fewer than 10,000 dentists globally, recognizing outstanding clinical competence and contribution to the profession. She also serves on the board of the San Fernando Valley Dental Society and holds active IAOMT membership. Her 171+ five-star reviews reflect years of building trust with patients who hold their healthcare providers to a high standard.

“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
