Holistic Dental Centers

Holistic Dental Centers is a multi-provider holistic and biological dental practice with locations in Cary and Cornelius, North Carolina, serving the greater Raleigh area. Founded by Dr. Carl McMillan, the practice takes a whole-body approach to oral health and offers preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and family dentistry, along with safe mercury amalgam removal, zirconia ceramic implants, biocompatible composite restorations, periodontal care, and other biologically focused dental services for patients of all ages.

The practice is particularly relevant for those seeking non-toxic dental care because it emphasizes mercury-safe, metal-safe, and biocompatible dentistry while recognizing the connection between oral health and overall health. Holistic Dental Centers avoids the use of mercury amalgam fillings, follows IAOMT standards for safe mercury removal, offers referrals for biocompatibility testing, and uses zirconia ceramic implants and composite restorations in place of metal-based materials whenever appropriate. Dr. McMillan is a past president of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), a charter member of the International Academy of Mercury Free Dentists, and the clinical team includes IAOMT members and SMART-certified dentists.

Dr. McMillan earned his DMD from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine. The practice also includes Dr. Luis Crespo and Dr. Erin Wilbanks, both of whom have additional training in holistic dentistry, with Dr. Wilbanks holding IAOMT SMART certification. Holistic Dental Centers sees both adults and children. Virtual consultations are not mentioned on the website, and insurance participation is not specified. New patients can schedule an appointment by calling either office or contacting the practice through its website.
