Services
Zirconia Implants
We specialize in zirconia implants, a biocompatible metal-free alternative to traditional titanium implants. These implants integrate naturally with bone tissue, reducing inflammation risks while supporting long-term oral health. Our team has placed zirconia implants since 2009 using protocols that prioritize patient safety and optimal healing outcomes.
Laser Dentistry
Our Waterlase dental lasers minimize aerosol production by 98% compared to traditional tools, enhancing safety during procedures. This technology allows for precise tissue treatment with reduced bleeding and faster recovery times, making it ideal for patients seeking minimally invasive care options.
Amalgam Removal
We follow SMART-certified protocols for safe amalgam removal, using specialized equipment and protective measures to prevent mercury exposure. This process includes electric handpieces for controlled removal and ozone therapy to neutralize residual toxins, ensuring patient and staff safety throughout the procedure.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy is integrated into our infection control protocols, using ozonated water rinses before procedures to eliminate pathogens. This natural disinfectant promotes faster healing, reduces post-operative complications, and supports the body's immune response during dental treatments.
Hilotherm Treatment
We provide Hilotherm devices for post-surgical care, delivering temperature-regulated therapy to reduce swelling and accelerate healing. This system circulates cooled water through facial masks, offering patients consistent comfort and improved recovery outcomes after complex dental procedures.

I just finished stage one of an extraction, bone graft, zirconia implant and next will be the final placement of the new tooth/ crown. I cannot say enough about how good the team was, in my case it consisted of Dr Herman, Leia (sp?) and Dr Yokoyama overseeing things. I was nervous at the onset not having had this procedure before but everyone made sure nothing began until I was comfortable and calm, the lavendar essential oils on the chair pillow helped that as well! It took many hours of precise labor for Dr Herman and Leia but their professionalism and skills were so impressive I instantly relaxed

I'm so pleased that I found the office of Dental Healing and their dentists. They're kind and gentle and don't make decisions to do work unless it really has to be done. I'd recommend the dental group in a heartbeat!

State of the art dental care with the nicest staff! My Dr. recommended Dental Healing, after my former dentist of 10 years said that a red sore in my mouth was "normal". It wasn't! Turns out that I had an infection that my other dentist couldn't detect with their outdated technology. Highly recommend 100%!

Dr. Yokoyama is an amazing holistic dentist; his family run-office has been taking care of my teeth for about 15 years, since 2004. I researched to find a dentist who had a holistic approach and didn't use amalgam fillings. Since I found Dr. Yokoyama I've referred several friends to the office; all say he's the best dentist they've ever had! I feel very fortunate to have worked with him all this time and have such good care.

If you're looking for a good holistic dentist, Dr. Yokoyama is probably the guy. If you're looking for a good holistic dentist who will patiently and thoroughly discuss options for your teeth, Dr. Yokoyama is definitely the guy. When I first called his office, I was told that Dr. Y. wasn't taking new patients, that it would be two months before I could get in. Once I did get in, I found out why this was.
Dr. Yokoyama greets you like you're an old friend. His is a very busy practice, but his whole posture is one of calm and reassurance. He *strolls* between treatment rooms. And the work he does
