We are passionate about our mission, our practice and the life-changing impact we have on our patients. We will be providing education in integrative dentistry as well as on-the-job training in oral surgery, implants and advanced dentistry of all kinds. An added perk is our office is truly a gorgeous space with lots of natural materials and light, together with all new equipment, technology and materials. And if you like great music, great coffee and great people, you’ve come to the right place.

Experience, knowledge and competence in hygiene is essential. Knowledge in holistic health and/or biological dentist is preferred; otherwise a strong interest and willingness to learn.

We are looking forward to meeting you.
