Greater St. Louis’ Choice for Holistic & Biological Dentistry
Fluoride-Free, Mercury-Free, Mercury-Safe, Biocompatible
Healthy Mouth, Healthy Body, Healthy Life
For more than two decades, our office has provided comprehensive holistic and biological dentistry to patients in the Greater St. Louis Area and from across the Midwest and Upper South.
Our patients hail from Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky – and even beyond!
That’s because we know that the mechanical benefits of restoring the mouth go hand-in-hand with the biological effects these procedures can have on the rest of the body. The tooth/body relationship must be respected. Oral health and whole body health are inextricably linked.
So we use dental materials that lend themselves to wellness. We recognize how treatments such as root canals and implants may compromise health and well-being. We acknowledge the risk of cavitational lesions that oral surgeries can carry and take extra effort to prevent them from developing.
And we take a thoroughly preventive approach to care, knowing that the best dentistry is the least dentistry. Our mantra? Keep it safe – keep it simple.
We Welcome Difficult Cases
Many seek us out for solutions to oral/systemic health problems that others have not been able to resolve. While we can’t guarantee results, you can read some of their success stories for yourself in our collection of patient experiences.
We work closely with a number of biological physicians, homeopaths, and other healing professionals in the greater St. Louis area and are always pleased to consult and coordinate your care with any other practitioners you may currently be seeing.
Our office has been mercury-free since 1994. We are also fluoride-free and mercury-safe.

Biocompatible, Biological Dentistry at Rehme Dental Care in St. Louis
“Biocompatibility” - literally, compatibility with life (bio) - is something we most often talk about in relation to dental materials. When restoring teeth, for instance, a biological practice like ours opts for materials like ceramic and BPA-free composite instead of...
The Food You Eat & the Health of Your Gums (& Brain)
One of the challenges of gum disease is that it’s so easy to ignore - at least in its early stages. Then gingivitis (early gum disease) evolves into periodontitis (advanced gum disease) and the gradual destruction of tissues that support your teeth, including bone. As...
The ADA Realigns Its Amalgam Position, Consumers for Dental Choice Reports
It wasn’t all that long ago that supporting mercury-free dentistry would, at minimum, brand you as a bit of a renegade, an outsider, an oddball. Then things began changing quickly, starting with the Minamata Convention on Mercury. This treaty was signed by well over...
