Whole-Body Dentistry

Biological and Holistic Dentistry, Integrated With High-End Technology

Dr. Jay went for a residency program at the American Academy of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry and graduated with a degree in Integrative and Biological Dental Medicine (I.B.D.M). It is a multi-factorial, extensive curriculum which focuses on integrating biological medicine and dentistry, with many hours of didactic and clinical training.

She hopes to use that knowledge to help people understand that oral health plays a big role in diseases throughout the body. We do not realise that teeth and oral tissues are still a part of us — and the whole body is connected.

Our Patient Testimonials

  • Dr. Jay with a patient at the Vernon practice

    I had been searching for a holistic/biological dentist for a long time to treat my failing root canal teeth. I knew the importance of ozone and laser being used during the extraction process and the superiority of zirconium implants compared to titanium. Over a month ago I had 3 of my failing root canal teeth removed and implants placed. I was nicely surprised that after the surgery I was able to talk and wasn't even swollen. The healing is going beautifully.

    I would give Dr Jay and her team 10 stars if I could. She and her team are professional, knowledgeable, personable, kind and best of all holistic & integrative! I travel 2.5 hours round trip to see her and I couldn't be happier with my care.

  • Dr. Jay with a patient at the Vernon practice

    Dr. Jay is an exceptional dentist. I used to be terrified to go to the dentist, but thanks to Dr. Jay, I look forward to going. She placed a ceramic implant and did such a beautiful job. I can't even tell that it's an implant because she matched the colour of the crown to my natural teeth so well.
