A Personal Note from Dr. Tom


I've known Dr. Zunka for a number of years and consider him to be a dedicated, exceptionally trained, experienced and skilled holistic dentist. I am impressed with the depth of his knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and his effort to educate his patients. He utilizes this knowledge when designing the treatment of his patients.

His ongoing training in holistic and cosmetic dentistry and his concern for the safe removal of amalgam fillings makes him ideally suited to remove and replace them. He is a strong supporter of safe/healthy dentistry and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a caring holistic and mercury safe dentist.
