Dr Lina Garcia’s Holistic Dentistry focuses on whole body wellness that starts with the mouth. Dr Garcia is committed to providing outstanding care by educating patients on oral health and its effects on the entire body. Our patients are well informed about the current state of their health and the steps they must take to experience whole body healing.

Patients will gain knowledge in oral hygiene, nutrition and dental care which play an important part in the healing process. Dr Garcia and her experienced team will ensure your visit is comfortable and rewarding.

Dr Garcia has written two books that serve as comprehensive references for those determined to take control of their health.

HOLISTIC DENTISTRY

Dr. Garcia believes oral health both depends upon and influences overall body health.  Her holistic approach precludes a product like mercury amalgam which has structural properties conducive to tooth repair but has chemical properties (elemental mercury is a poison) that are harmful to the body. 

Dr. Garcia's holistic approach also means that she is passionate about her patients interests and activities without being judgmental or closed minded. 

Dr. Garcia is pictured with patient, actor, producer and screenwriter John Cusack and author Arundhati Roy who are co-authors of the recent book Things That Can and Cannot be Said.
