Holistic Dental Care
Our holistic approach treats oral health as integral to overall wellness, using non-toxic materials and addressing systemic connections between dental and bodily health. We focus on biocompatible restorations, mercury-free procedures, and nutritional counseling to prevent disease while enhancing smile aesthetics. This method reduces risks of chronic inflammation and supports immune system function through comprehensive, patient-centered care.
Zirconia Implants
Zirconia implants provide metal-free tooth replacement with superior biocompatibility and aesthetics. These durable, corrosion-resistant implants integrate naturally with bone tissue while avoiding potential metal sensitivities. Our precision-guided placement using digital imaging ensures optimal alignment and long-term functionality for patients seeking permanent solutions to missing teeth.
Mercury Removal
We specialize in safe mercury filling removal using protective protocols to minimize exposure. This includes dental dams, high-volume suction, and activated charcoal absorption. Replacements use non-toxic composite resins that match natural tooth color while eliminating risks associated with mercury vapor release during traditional amalgam removal.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom clear aligners that patients can remove for eating and cleaning. Our Premier-Preferred provider employs 3D imaging to map precise tooth movements, offering effective correction for crowding, spacing, and bite issues without traditional brackets or wires, ensuring comfort and aesthetic benefits.
Gum Disease Treatment
Our non-surgical periodontal treatments address gum disease through Perio Protect trays and antimicrobial therapies. By targeting bacterial biofilms below the gumline, we reduce inflammation and prevent progression to advanced periodontitis. This holistic approach connects oral health to systemic wellness, lowering risks of heart disease and other systemic conditions linked to poor gum health.

This spring I visited Dr. Herrmanns office on the recommendation of a friend with high hopes. I was taken in for an initial appointment for wisdom tooth extraction. During this appointment I was initially impressed by the selection of healthy books in the office foyer, and the kindness of the staff as a whole. But then, the unnecessary procedures and monetary costs started adding up. First I was required to take a CT scan for $250 cash. Then, Dr. Herrmann told me I needed to have PRP therapy for the extraction. I told Dr. Herrmann that I was not interested in PRP therapy, as this would null

Dr. Herrmann is my dentist till the end. I have been a patient of Dr. Herrman for many years now and am so grateful I found him. He is extremely compassionate, listens well, and is comprehensive in his approach. He saved my tooth from all the other dentists' who were saying that I needed a root canal and intuitively I felt this was not the approach I needed. Dr. Herrman's vision and response to the care of my tooth confirmed I had chosen the right place for the care of my teeth. Your teeth are such a sacred jewel - this is where our digestive tract start so I know my teeth are in great

Probably the only TRULY HOLISTIC dentist in South Florida. I found Dr. Herrmann after attending the Holistic Oral Health Summit online in 2018. He happened to be the only holistic dentist in the broad Miami-area who met all the criteria set by the summit's holistic dentist guide which is a listing of holistic dentists by state. I had done extensive research and I am glad I found him. His office is well-equipped with the latest technology, the staff is super knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Herrmann has an impressive list of qualifications and professional experience as a biological dentist, well-versed

Terrible front desk and disorganized billing department. I have been going to this dentist for about 15 years now. They got a new office location and pretty much everything went downhill from there. My whole family left because of their disorganization and lack of communication. However, I stayed as I have never encountered any issues. Until now... I went to the dentist for a normal cleaning. About a month later, my sister gets a bill statement that was sent to my fathers house that is for a service that I received. When calling the dentist to clarify the issue, not only does the front desk have

This office has the worst billing department I have ever encountered. They mis billed my wifes cleaning for another persons and stated that one of the 2 free cleanings a year wasnt covered. They then stated they will require all patients to pay out of their pocket to then get reimbursed by their insurance. Please do not waste your time with this office.

Save your money, dont bring it to this office! Unfortunately as much as I wanted him to be a good Doctor, It has been one big disappointment. First 2 hygienists missed a large cavity during the cleaning, which was discovered by my orthodontist. But I gave him a second chance. He collected the money upfront and when I called with a complaint about his work (a whole left in my tooth!) he decided to end our relationship over the phone, because I didnt have confidence in him.. and wished me a Merry Christmas.. on a January 21st.. I dont appreciate that type of humor after spend over
