Dr. Leonard Kundel

Dr. Leonard Kundel, DMD is a solo holistic dentist with two office locations: a primary practice in Stamford, Connecticut and a satellite office in Manhattan, New York. He identifies as a holistic dentist with a whole-body philosophy, summarized by his motto: “Your mouth is connected to your body and so it should be treated as such.” He holds a DMD from Tufts University School of Dentistry and a Master of Science in Specialized Orthodontics from the International Medical College at the University of Duisburg-Essen, followed by a residency at Montefiore Hospital.

Dr. Kundel has been studying the oral-systemic connection for nearly two decades, with a focus on growth and development in children, sleep-disordered breathing, jaw joint disorders, and chronic oral inflammatory diseases linked to systemic health risks. Services include general and restorative dentistry using biocompatible materials, ozone therapy, frenectomy, TMJ treatment, ALF (Advanced Lightwire Functionals) appliance therapy, the Homeoblock appliance, Biobloc facial growth guidance, the Myobrace system, sleep apnea treatment, vagus nerve dysfunction support, laser surgery, and sedation dentistry. The practice emphasizes minimally invasive techniques and careful material selection based on each patient’s physiology. The website does not specifically mention SMART protocol certification, IAOMT membership, mercury removal protocols, or fluoride-free policies, so those claims are not included here.

The practice sees both adults and children, and patient testimonials reference positive experiences for pediatric patients. Appointments can be booked online through ZocDoc, and new patients are directed to complete patient forms electronically through a secure link. The website does not mention insurance acceptance, virtual consultations, or HSA/FSA eligibility.
