Dr. Lorie Miller Stevens - Georgia Holistic Dental
Georgia Holistic Dental is a solo holistic dental practice located in Gainesville, Georgia, led by Dr. Lorie Miller Stevens, DMD. Dr. Stevens has been in dentistry for over 45 years, including more than 35 years in Gainesville, and identifies as a holistic dentist with a strong emphasis on the oral-systemic connection, ultra-conservative treatment, and whole-body wellness. She is a past president and former chairman of the board of the Holistic Dental Association and served over 10 years on the board of directors for the IAOMT.
Services offered include safe mercury removal, ozone therapy, Waterlase laser gum treatment (a non-surgical laser approach to periodontal disease), the Myo=Smile program (an airway-focused orthodontic development program for children), sleep apnea evaluation, TMJ treatment, tooth extractions with site preservation, cosmetic dentistry, oral pathology evaluation, oral cancer screening, digital X-rays, and clear braces and expanders. The practice also offers virtual appointments.
Dr. Stevens has focused her practice on safe mercury removal and has trained extensively with the Centers for Dental Medicine on the oral-systemic connection. Her IAOMT board tenure and Holistic Dental Association leadership reflect deep and long-standing involvement in biological and holistic dentistry organizations. The practice uses digital radiography, which the website describes as producing significantly less radiation than conventional X-rays. Dr. Stevens’ Myo=Smile program is designed to develop the dental arches, open the airway, balance muscles, and reset breathing patterns, with the stated aim of optimizing pH and overall biochemistry. Dr. Stevens holds a DMD from the Medical College of Georgia (class of 1988), trained first as a dental hygienist at Albany Jr. College, and holds the MAGD designation (Master in the Academy of General Dentistry), a distinction she notes is held by approximately one percent of dentists.
The website does not specify whether children or adults only are seen, though the Myo=Smile program is designed for children’s arch and airway development, indicating the practice sees pediatric patients. Insurance and payment information are not addressed on the website. New and prospective patients can book in-person or virtual appointments through the website at georgiaholisticdentist.com or by calling the practice directly.
