Holistic & Biologic Dentistry in Dallas: Personalized, Whole-Health Approach You Can Trust

Hi, I’m Dr. James Segulyev, DDS, a Holistic & Biologic Dentist proudly serving the greater Dallas community. At Segulyev Dental Arts, we focus on more than just your teeth—we support your total well-being. If you’re looking for a dentist who respects your goals, provides compassionate care, and uses minimally invasive, biologically compatible treatments, you’re in the right place.

I believe your oral health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. That’s why my practice is both holistically and biologically inclined—we care for more than just your teeth. Holistic means we understand that the health of your mouth affects your entire body. Biologic means I continuously seek the most biocompatible materials and the safest, least invasive techniques available—choices that support both your health and the long-term function of your smile.

Since 2001, I’ve helped patients make informed, personalized decisions about their dental care based on their unique goals and values. Whether you’re seeking relief from TMJ dysfunction, support for sleep and airway health, or natural alternatives to conventional treatments, I’m here to guide you toward healthier outcomes through thoughtful, biologically compatible care.

What Is Holistic Dentistry?

Holistic dentistry recognizes that your gums, teeth, and jaw are not separate from the rest of your body—they’re part of a larger system. This philosophy drives everything I do. I look beyond symptoms to address root causes, offering care that is preventative, conservative, and personalized. Scientific research increasingly shows links between oral conditions like gum disease and systemic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It’s clear: oral health is whole-body health.

That’s why my team and I take the time to understand your complete health picture. By aligning dental care with your body’s natural ability to heal and function, we support wellness from the inside out.

How My Holistic Dental Approach Works

Like all dentists, I aim to restore and maintain healthy smiles—but the way I go about it is different. As a holistic dentist in Dallas, I prioritize:

Minimally invasive techniques that protect your tooth structure and reduce trauma.
Biocompatible materials, avoiding metals or substances that could disrupt your immune system.
Mercury-safe dentistry, using SMART protocols for safe amalgam removal (Coming in Fall 2025).
Root cause analysis, not just symptom management.
Long-term solutions that promote balance, function, and whole-body wellness.
Airway-centered dentistry and Chewing System Optimization (TMJ/TMD Treatment) because proper jaw function is foundational to breathing, posture, sleep, and more.

Benefits of Holistic Dentistry

At Segulyev Dental Arts, everything we do is designed to support your total wellness. Patients often experience:

Reduced exposure to toxins and allergens
More comfortable, conservative procedures
Improved jaw and bite alignment
Earlier identification of systemic health risks
A better understanding of how nutrition and oral function affect health

Is Holistic Dentistry Right for You?

Holistic dentistry is ideal for anyone seeking dental care that supports both oral and overall health—especially if you:

Have multiple allergies or chemical sensitivities
Take medications that impact immune function or inflammation
Want to avoid traditional dental materials like fluoride or amalgam
Need comprehensive, biologically safe restoration or rehabilitation
Value a preventive, whole-person approach to health care

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. I’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your values and supports your long-term health.

Our Holistic & Biologic Services

Coming Fall 2025: SMART Certification & Mercury-Safe Dentistry

I’m proud to share that by late Fall 2025, Segulyev Dental Arts will officially be SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) Certified through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). This is an important step in my continued commitment to providing safe, effective Holistic & Biologic Dentistry here in North Dallas.

As a biologic dentist, I never place mercury (amalgam) fillings. But I also understand that many patients come to me seeking a healthier solution for existing restorations. That’s why I’ve chosen to become SMART certified—so I can ensure your amalgam removal is done as safely and responsibly as possible.

Mercury-Safe Dentistry at Segulyev Dental Arts

Mercury is a known neurotoxin, and even trace exposure—especially during removal—can be harmful. Children, those with chronic health conditions, and individuals with detoxification challenges are especially vulnerable. That’s why the IAOMT’s SMART protocol is so important.

This method is evidence-based and meticulously designed to protect you, my team, and the environment from mercury vapor and particles that are released during removal. SMART Certification reflects my commitment to doing dentistry differently—with your long-term health and safety at the forefront.

How I Keep You Safe During Mercury Removal

When removing mercury fillings, I follow each step of the SMART protocol with precision:

High-volume air filtration is used in every treatment room to capture harmful vapors and particles.
An amalgam separator ensures mercury waste is properly collected, keeping it out of our water systems.
My team and I wear protective gear, including sealed masks, face shields, and gowns.
You’ll receive external oxygen through a nasal mask and be covered with an impermeable drape for added protection.
I isolate the area using a dental dam or Isodry and combine suction, water irrigation, and a specialized vacuum to minimize exposure.

This is what it means to practice Holistic & Biologic Dentistry with integrity. When you choose mercury-safe care at Segulyev Dental Arts, you can trust that every detail is handled with your health in mind.

✅ TMJ/TMD Therapy & Facial Pain Relief

As a Holistic & Biologic Dentist, I look at the entire system—including your jaw joints, muscles, and bite—to understand and treat TMJ pain. Using MAGO Therapy (Maxillary Anterior Guided Orthotic therapy), and Regenerative Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Therapy – a revolutionary treatment for TMJ disorders, enhances your body’s natural healing abilities for faster recovery and long-term results. We also offer free consultations and second opinions to help you feel confident in your care.

✅ Minimally Invasive Biomimetic Dentistry

My approach to Biomimetic Dentistry is built around the principles of Holistic & Biologic Dentistry. By mimicking nature, we restore damaged teeth while preserving as much of your natural structure as possible. This means stronger, longer-lasting results without aggressive drilling or unnecessary procedures. Segulyev Dental Arts is proud to be the leading expert specializing in Minimally-Invasive Biomimetic Dentistry in the North Dallas area. Biomimetic Dentistry is a biologic alternative to conventional crowns and has gained tremendous popularity in the realm of holistic Dentistry in the past few years. This conservative, minimally-invasive approach aims to restore your dental system’s natural biology while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

Through biomimetic restorations, we can repair and strengthen damaged teeth while improving your dental health long-term.

✅ Dental Ozone Therapy

Dental ozone therapy is one of the many ways I incorporate Holistic & Biologic Dentistry into treatment. Dental Ozone Therapy is a powerful and safe, natural antimicrobial therapeutic treatment that supports healing, reduces infection, and boosts your body’s immune response. It’s especially helpful for patients looking for drug-free, non-toxic alternatives allowing you to achieve improved dental health and better quality of life.

✅ Sleep Disorders & Airway Health Solutions (Vivos®)

As a Holistic & Biologic Dentist, I treat sleep-disordered breathing in both adults and children. I am certified in The VIVOS® System protocol, a minimally invasive treatment that gently expands the airway and improves breathing, often eliminating the need for CPAP machines. It’s a life-changing solution for adults and children alike.

✅ Minimally Invasive BioRejuvenation Dentistry

BioRejuvenation Dentistry is a perfect example of Holistic & Biologic Dentistry in action. Instead of covering up problems with crowns or veneers, I take a restorative, biologic approach—rebuilding your bite and smile based on nature’s original design. The result? Beautiful, functional, and long-lasting health.

✅ Certified Invisalign® Provider

As a Holistic & Biologic Dentist, I love Invisalign because it offers a minimally invasive, non-metal alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign improves alignment without disrupting your lifestyle or compromising your wellness. It’s a safe, effective, and discreet solution for straighter teeth and a balanced bite. Life is better with straight, healthy teeth.
