About Our Mercury Safe Dental Practice
Dr. Shoha's "Mercury Safe Dentist" office is located in Bloomfield Hills, MI. She is mercury free (amalgam/silver filling free) and mercury safe and she is dedicated to the practice of holistic, healthy, biocompatible dentistry. Her goal is to treat her patients in the most healthy, caring, holistic way possible and to share her knowledge about dental wellness with her patients so that they may make educated decisions about their oral health. She fully understands the important relationship of oral to overall health and knows that; "You cannot be truly healthy without good oral health!"
Holistic Dentistry
Holistic Dentistry is a philosophy that recognizes that the teeth and associated oral structures are a part of the whole body. Because of this important relationship, our office offers a wide range of healthy treatment options. Dr. Shoha also takes a unique Whole Body approach to oral health care; combining sound dental science, technology, and her personal dental experience with a deep concern for her patients' emotional well-being and comfort.
Safe Amalgam/Silver Filling Removal Protocols
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Dr. Shoha is aware that mercury vapor, dental infections, TMJ (bite) problems can have a negative impact on oral and overall health. Because of this concern, we focus on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in a safe way.

A Personal Note from Dr. Tom
I've met and spoken with Dr. Shoha and agree with her approach to healthy, holistic dentistry. She has also taken our course in How to Make the Dental Office Mercury Safe. I believe her to be a dedicated, well-trained, experienced and caring dentist. I am impressed with the depth of her professionalism, knowledge, and understanding about the important relationship of oral to overall health - and her ongoing effort to educate her patients.
She belongs to a number of highly regarded holistic dental organizations, including my International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD) association. These organizations encourage taking a holistic, biocompatible, safe, health-based approach to dental treatment and strive to promote patient education.
Her commitment to amalgam-free, mercury-safe, whole-body dentistry, advanced studies in cosmetic dentistry, her ongoing dedication to continuing education in all phases of dentistry, and her concern for her patients health and well being - makes her ideally suited to safely remove and replace mercury amalgam fillings.
Dr. Dr. Shoha is a charter member of the International Association of Mercury-Safe Dentists (IAMSD) and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a mercury free and mercury safe, holistic and caring dentist. When you visit her office, please let her know where you found out about her and say hello to her from me. Thanks!
