Integrative Physician Achieves Systemic Health Through Ceramic Implants and Holistic Dental Care

My name is Dr. Chopa Sayana and I'm in Sherman Oaks, California. My life before working with Dr. Moldovan was, I was unaware that I even had some dental issues. I needed to get two dental implants done and I really wanted to make sure that they weren't any kind of toxic substance. So, I'd heard about Dr. Moldavan. She's a common resource in our integrative medicine community and I refer some patients to her. So, my life and health was... unaware that I actually had some dental issues. So, by the time I came to see her, she let me know that I needed two replacements of dental implants and reassured me that she was using the cleanest material. And they were ceramic and not any kind of toxic elements. I think Dr. Sanda Moldovan is an authority in her field. She's also super warm and kind so you really feel like she has your back. I've had multiple treatments done. The first one, I would say, would be my dental implants that were ceramic, and they were done by Dr. Dr. Moldovan herself. She is a really skilled surgeon in terms of her skill and her ability to diagnose and improve dental issues. Then the second thing I really appreciated about her - specifically with that procedure - was she didn't really recommend any antibiotics right away. She really wanted to use ozone and natural treatments instead of jumping to something that was more systemic and would impact my gut. Then the second experience I had with the practice was with Dr. Diego. I signed up for the very affordable membership plan, and she did my dental exam and had referred me to the hygienist for a cleaning. And I absolutely adore their hygienist. She's super thorough, almost OCD about cleaning teeth, which is great because that's really what you want. And I was really impressed with their practice that now my husband and my kids are all members of their practice. I just find it's affordable and I know that it's not going to be any toxic or antibiotics right away for any of them. So I feel very safe and heard in their practice. I just went in for my cleaning about a month ago, and they told me that I was clenching. I didn't realize I was clenching. And they custom-made these personalized mouthguards for me. And they're really nifty because they are missing the front piece. So it's only where I actually need them. And so they're much easier to sleep with and I can truly see a difference the next day. And again, I'm really grateful that it's BPA-free and as clean as can be. I think it's changed my life because it's really helped to remove those corrosive dental implants I've had and it's really improved my own health. Also the dental cleaning and the fact that they have laser that my daughter has just taken advantage of. She's just 16 and she has gingivitis and they use laser to kind of help heal that. She's really impressed with their service as well. But it's changed our life just to realize that real health starts in the mouth. And as an integrative medicine doctor myself, we look at the gut and we look at hormones but it really has to start from the mouth. So I really encourage all my patients to go see a holistic practitioner and just make sure that there's no hidden infections or inflammation starting from their mouth. Yeah, I think the only advice I have is, people should go earlier. And I wish I had gone earlier and had the opportunity like my kids do to really take advantage of seeing a holistic dental practice. I'm just really spreading the word and happy to share her information with all my patients who really do need a strong foundation in science as well as any kind of natural alternatives for their oral health. I would recommend everybody in their practice. Dr. Moldavan, Dr. Diego, they're amazing dental hygienist, They make the process very efficient and easy and they remind you of your appointments and also the regularity by which you can get cleanings when you pay for the membership. You just don't have to think about it. They just know you have to go and it's already something that's paid for and it really does encourage regular cleanings of your mouth. So, I would absolutely encourage other people to go there because I think it's just been a really efficient, smooth and evidence- based process.
