Our Practice – A Holistic Practice Designed for You
Our philosophy is centered on treating you holistically and non-invasively.
Truly health-centered dentistry means that nothing happens in your mouth that can adversely affect your body… no toxins, no heavy metals and no mercury amalgams. Instead, we combine biocompatible materials, state-of-the-art science, excellent function, and exquisite esthetics with a gentle, compassionate approach.
Philosophy of Holistic Dentistry
Silver-mercury amalgams are composed of five metals, 50% of which is mercury. Over twenty years ago, researchers discovered that the mercury in amalgams slowly comes out of the fillings and is absorbed into the body over the lifetime of the filling.
Many people with good body resistance and a healthy immune system have amalgam fillings and show no adverse symptoms. Yet we are finding a number of individuals, diagnosed by their physicians, who experience various neurological and physiological problems associated with mercury buildup, as well as other non-compatible dental materials in their body.
There are three major problems associated with metals in the mouth:
- Mercury toxicity: This is our primary concern due to the buildup in the body of this highly toxic material. Mercury leaks out of amalgams in the form of a vapor, which is then absorbed into the body through the mucous membranes of the mouth and respiratory tract.
- Allergic reaction: Nickel is the metal that causes the most allergy problems. When someone cannot wear inexpensive costume jewelry, this is a good indication of a Nickel allergy. Yet Nickel is a common material in dental crowns, bridges and partials. We often find red, swollen, irritated gums; a burning sensation in the mouth or red tissue under the partial in patients who have an allergic reaction to the metal.
- Galvanism is an electrical current or battery effect generated in the mouth by dissimilar metals. Various neurological problems and headaches can be related to these electrical charges.
Mercury amalgam fillings must be removed very carefully to prevent mercury from being ingested and absorbed into the body. A rubber dam and special high speed evacuation ensures that this does not happen.
Many of our patients elect to remove their amalgams and upgrade their dentistry to tooth colored materials.
We provide quality dental care as efficiently and comfortably as possible. Since many of our patients travel long distances, longer well-planned appointments are utilized to do quadrant dentistry. This minimizes travel time and anesthetic injections, and allows us to do optimum dentistry very effectively rather than make appointments for one tooth at a time.
Meet Dr. Nabors 
Dr. Nabors has not placed an amalgam filling since 1983. This decision is not purely philosophical or scientific. His recognition of the dangers of Mercury as a neurotoxin is deeply personal – he himself has been diagnosed with Mercury toxicity and is being successfully treated through chelation therapy.
His conviction that there should be holistic options in dentistry, led him to build an office dedicated to health-centered and cosmetic dentistry, and optimum patient comfort.
In addition to his formal dental education at West Virginia University, Dr. Nabors has studied extensively to develop his clinical skills and expertise. Some of his professional affiliations are: The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), Holistic Dental Association, the Forum for Contemporary Dental Esthetics, the L.D. Pankey Institute, the Academy of Dental Practice Administration, the American Dental Association. He is also a member of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine.
