Practice Profile Page

Dr. Dalwani and her team gave me the best dental experience I’ve ever had! The moment you enter the office, her front staff, Mariana and Natalie are the most welcoming ladies you’ll ever meet. They’re extremely kind and highly informed about dentistry even though they’re not dentists. 🙂 Mariana was super cool and helpful, answering all the questions I had. Let me back up a little. For many years I have researched holistic dentistry and tried to find the best option for my wife and I, particularly for the removal of our mercury amalgam fillings. After my wife found her years ago, by accident; She decided to explore her services, and then ended up having a good experience with a simple consultation. My wife, then told me about her and I was curious. I’m very critical about allopathic health care and a huge advocate for holistic naturopathic regimens. Anything I decide to do requires extensive research before I jump in and take action.  This is exactly what I did in regards to finding out the best Holistic Dentist to help me remove my mercury amalgams, and Dr. Dalwani was the answer! It took me years to finally take the necessary step to remove these toxic mercury amalgams out of my mouth, and Dr. Dalwani helped me with this life changing procedure.  The X-rays were a breeze and she went into intricate detail about every aspect of my mouth, showing she truly cared about the overall health of not only my mouth, but the entire body. Embodying a true HOLISTIC approach to dentistry. She was very informative and explained the process very well.  She was very gentle and understanding prior to and during the removals. It was a painless and pretty quick process. Dr. Dalwani was very safe and made me feel comfortable with the removal and the composite fillings replacements. I highly recommend Dr Dalwani for any one in Los Angeles searching for a dentist who can safely remove toxic mercury amalgams from their mouth. She is the ONE!

Dr. Dalwani and her staff are amazing. After a year and a half of unexplained health problems I decided I needed to see a holistic dentist and see if my root canals and one mercury filling were the culprits. While researching organic dentists I had several really terrible and dispiriting experiences with front office staff who were rude and unhelpful. Until I called Dr. Dalwani’s office. The phone was answered by one of Dr. Dalwani’s assistants, Sonia, who spent 30 minutes answering all my questions about techniques, materials used, and costs. Sonia couldn’t have been more helpful or supportive. I immediately set an appointment Ultimately we decided to have the 1 mercury filling removed, and to have my root canals treated with ozone – rather than having the 2 root canal’d teeth removed (which is what I was wanted to do – being so sick and tired of being sick and tired!). After the ozone treatment Dr. Dalwani prescribed Vitamin C supplements and Sun Chlorella to help my body detox. After several days after the ozone therapy I have to say that I FINALLY felt like my old self after a year and half of being exhausted. It was miraculous. I’m still trying to decide if I want the 2 root canal’d teeth removed, but if I go that route I will definitely have Dr. Dalwani handle it So to sum it up: If you want a professional, kind, supportive, helpful holistic dentistry experience. Go no further. You will find it all at Dr. Dalwani’s practice in Santa Monica. It is not inexpensive, but every step taken is explained upfront on why it’s important and how much it will cost you. You will never be out on a limb wondering how much you will be paying. This alone is huge for me. It’s always embarrassing asking “how much will this be”? They just tell you ahead of time so you can make an informed decision and they are educated about the various dental insurance plans and can help you work within your plan. So if you have old mercury fillings or root canals – and are wondering if they’re affecting your health – give Dr. Dalwani’s office a call. They can help you.

Dr.Dalwani and her staff are amazing people who made me feel welcome and safe as soon as I started seeing them in August 2019. I had many of my fillings redone by her, going from teeth that felt like blocks to having teeth that actually felt like MY teeth! She answers all of my questions completely and actually cares to educate her patients. In past experiences with different dentists and dental hygienists there is a feeling that they are rushing you to move onto the next patient; this has never happened with Dr. Dalwani. She is the only dentist I fully trust because she works quickly and efficiently while making you feel comfortable. I drive an hour to see her because there is no one in my area who even compares to the level of professionalism and holistic care that they provide.

I have been searching for a Holistic dentist for years! I am so glad I found Center for Holistic Dentistry! Dr. Dalwani and staff are the sweetest! I never liked going to the dentist till I found Center for Holistic Dentistry! The oral hygienist Jaymie is the best! She leaves my mouth feeling amazing everytime! They really pamper you here and put all nerves at ease. Most importantly, they really care about your oral health and take the best holistic approach! I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Dr.Dalwani and her team are awesome. Thank you for safely removing my broken down mercury fillings . I was always stressing about them and thinking about how to safely remove them and Dr.D explained everything step by step. Natalia is Dr.Dalwani’s assistant and she was so gentle and informative through the entire process. She cleaned out everything and ozonated each tooth, which I appreciate because it disinfected the tooth in a healthy way. Dr. D called me the next day to check up on me which was super sweet and happy to report no pain or sensitivity.thank you to the entire team and see you at my next cleaning . Also didn’t want to forget Jaymie …. the best most informative hygienist ever . My teeth were the cleanest they’ve ever been plus she answered my million questions with a smile

Thank you Dr. Dalwani and her entire team at Center for Holistic Dentistry. I was referred by one of my coworkers who has been coming to see Dr. Dalwani for 5 years so I thought I would give the office a try. Let me just say that I am so glad that I did! First of all they are one of the only holistic dentists that accepts PPO insurance. I’m aware that dental insurance doesn’t cover much but Sonia did a great job explaining all parts of my insurance and I knew exactly what my out of pocket was. Off to see Dr. Dalwani for one of the most thorough dental exams I’ve ever had. She sat with me for over an hour and answered all my questions patiently about gum disease, root canals and ozone. I’ve already had 2 sessions of ozone for my chronic sinus issues and can already breathe better. I finally feel like I found a dentist who really cares about your overall body health and not just telling you to floss more. Thank you Dr. Dalwani sharing all your dental knowledge with me and being so patient at the same time. See you at my next ozone session!!!

I found this place after months and months of extensive research as I was looking for a really good holistic dentist who could take my mercury out safely. This place is equipped with top notch technology to safely remove amalgams and replace it with a non toxic composite that’s is compatible with your body chemistry. I had a really good experience with Dr. Dalwani and the procedure was pain-free and fast. The entire office staff is super friendly and kind and they do an excellent job with dealing with your insurance. They have a really streamlined system and you always receive a courtesy call to remind you that you’re due for a cleaning. This office never tries to upsell you, although you’re given the options to use certain things such as laser to help fight gram negative bacteria under the gums. They offer you free Ophora water to drink and I love how they also give you a free bamboo toothbrush after cleaning. you cannot get any more holistic than this place. I highly recommend it.

We came to LA for two weeks to meet with periodontists for my mothers extraction surgery. We had stumbled upon some of the most commercial and money crazed doctors. It got so bad to the point we decided to travel to a different state to continue our search but stumbled upon Dr Dalwani and was the best decision we made. Dr Dalwani was incredibly nice and made it a point to acquire my mother’s trust and comfort before she began the surgery with another Dr that Dr Dalwani personally recommended. Her holistic approach and the ozone therapy Dr Dalwani performed took the experience to another level. The receptionist and nurses were outstanding and made my mothers experience even more comforting. For anyone thinking twice, as we were, Dr Dalwani is the way to go.

Dr. Dalwani and her team are all excellent and kind! From the moment I walked in, everyone made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. After my first visit I was told that I needed six cavities filled as well as a deep cleaning on the back four quadrants of my mouth. I consider myself to have good dental hygiene, so I was surprised to have so many cavities but I couldn’t be happier that Dr. Dalwani found and fixed them. I was also nervous to do the deep cleaning procedure, but Dr. Dalwani explained the treatment in a way that was easy to understand with all of the benefits that would come from it. During the deep cleanings, which took place over two appointments, the dental hygienists were both very gentle, kind and did a great job. My gums and teeth feel so much healthier! Dr. Dalwani did a wonderful job on my fillings as well and actually discovered an even deeper cavity than expected through the process that would have led to a root canal within the year if it hadn’t been treated. I’m so glad that I trusted Dr. Dalwani in all of her suggestions to increase my dental health. Sonia also stood out to me for being so genuine and understanding while explaining all of the billing and insurance policies. I will definitely continue to use this dentist and I recommend this office to any one looking for a great place!

I hadn’t been to a dentist in at least 10 years and when I first arrived I was petrified.  Dentist Dalwani and the hygienist supplanted my fears with reassurance and trust and they delivered on their promises.  After a few deep cleanings which included laser I have significantly improved my teeth and gums and I no longer have any concerns when I need to see the dentist. What I was quite impressed with was the back office staff especially Sonia.  Sonia really helps and goes out of her way to handle billing of insurance and answers questions contrary to the usual gum chewing “it’s not my job” attitude, incompetence, ignorance and indifference one often finds with medical staff.  To the contrary, Sonia is patient and friendly yet very knowledgeable about procedures and insurance coverage and does not always expect payment immediately depending on the procedure. There is also a referral program which I have yet to take advantage of so anyone interested let me know you can get quite a discount if you use it. When it came to x-rays Yadira was patient and gentle as I have a small mouth and I sometimes gag on that x-ray appliance they use so get to the back teeth, but not this time, no gagging and I felt quite comfortable. Dentist Dalwani is great!  She explains everything thoroughly and tells you how to improve your health and maintain it.  She explains what causes bacteria and the implications on your overall health.  She did my first and only filling and a cap and there was no pain at all. Overall, I can’t imagine going back to the traditional dentist where you are treated like you are on an assembly line. Did I mention they use a laser?  How cool is that? 🙂

I am so incredibly happy I found Dr. Dalwani and her wonderful team. Everyone in the office (especially Sonia at the front desk) is so friendly and welcoming- I actually look forward to coming in for visits! I’m always greeted with smiles and every patient I talk to is as happy with their visits as I am. Dr. Dalwani and her staff always make sure to explain what procedures will be done (so that I’m never caught off guard or surprised by what I’m being billed for) and take extra time to answer any questions that I have. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone new to the area or looking to switch to a new dentist. You won’t be disappointed!

I have had a great experience with Dr. Dalwani. The office is really convenient for those on the Westside. Very nice and friendly staff. They are very timely on the appointments, which I love. At other practices it can be pain when you arrive for an appointment and then are told to wait another 30 mins or so. It’s good to know they respect your time here. I come here for my regular check ups on my work breaks and have had prompt and great service. I had no pain and was treated very gently for a thorough cleaning. I highly recommend Dr. Dalwani.

Dr. Dalwani is the real deal.  Thanks to her, I now know a visit to the dentist can actually be a positive experience.  I hadn’t been to a dentist in a shamefully long time (like, years), and I was pretty anxious about going.  Ok, really anxious.  Every other encounter with dentists has left me confused, in pain, and wondering what just happened to my mouth.  Dr. Dalwani and her staff were incredibly kind and comforting, explaining everything they were doing before they actually did it, every step of the way. Going in, I knew I had cavities, plus a mouthful of mercury-laden fillings (courtesy of prior dentists).  The initial exam was completely painless.  Her bedside manner really put me at ease; she was so considerate of how I felt and throughout the exam asked me how I was doing, or if I was in any pain.  You can tell she truly cares. I was having an issue near a previous root canal, due to some tooth trauma I had as a kid.  Her staff were able to schedule an appointment for right after my exam, with an endodontist right across the street!  After the exam, Dr. Dalwani took the time to sit down with me, and explain the procedures that she recommended.  She told me: 1) what was necessary, and 2) what was beneficial, but optional.  She even used visual aids!  I know so much more about my mouth now, and I feel like that empowers me to take better care of my oral health. I’ve since had 3 cavities filled, and a “safe removal” of one of my metal fillings.  I had no idea there was a whole safety protocol for getting that mercury-filled alloy out of your teeth, but I was amazed at the process.  Since mercury is such a dangerous metal, they isolate the tooth to make sure none of the metal can go into your mouth while they’re removing it.  There’s even a vacuum hose nearby that sucks the fumes away while they work, and a little oxygen mask for your nose so you’re not breathing any of those toxic fumes.  And again, totally painless!  I was shocked to learn later that most dentists don’t bother to do any of this when removing metal fillings, because it’s not required in the US.  But Dr. Dalwani goes above and beyond because she actually cares about you and your overall health. I am so, so glad I found the Center for Holistic Dentistry.  I now have a dentist I can trust, who I know wants the best for my health, and who won’t push unnecessary procedures or take shortcuts on my care.  Thank you Dr. Dalwani!

I have had a very positive experience at the Center for Holistic Dentistry.  Starting with the front office staff. They are kind, welcoming,  and very professional. Dr. Dalwani is the best! She is patient and takes her time during the check up and her work is top notch. In my 1st visit she immediately saw a problem with where my teeth were making contact and recommended a solution.  This simple procedure ended up resolving my neck and jaw tightness I was feeling every morning when I woke up.  I am so grateful that she had the knowledge and insight to know that my bite needed this correction without me even mentioning a neck or jaw discomfort.  I actually had no idea the two were related. And on my next visit I had the best dental cleaning ever. The hygienist was so thorough.  It made me realize that all these years at other dental offices, I was never really getting my teeth cleaned well.  It is not easy to find a dental office that has everything you need and want, but this one has it all!

I love Dr. Dalwani, she is the best dentist I have ever been to. She is very attentive thorough and caring. The staff is also very friendly. I came to Dr. Dalwani in worse shape than I thought I was. I went in to remove all my mercury fillings and replace them with white fillings. Center for Holistic Dentistry is one of the few offices that offers safe removal, which is extremely important. Dr. Dalwani informed me of cavities I was unaware of that were under the old fillings. She fixed everything and I noticed a tremendous difference in my dental health. I continue to go to the office for regular check ups, cleanings and ozone. From the start of my journey at Holistic Dentistry until now my teeth and gums are so much cleaner and healthier. I appreciate how Dr. Dalwani continues to keep my mouth healthy. I’m so glad I found this dentist. I bring my entire family and tell all of my friends, she’s great

This place is hands down the cream of the crop. I’ve been in search for a holistic dentis and I finally found this place. My wife and I are so happy with this place. They do a safe mercury removal at this place and my wife was so happy that I brought her here. It was pain-free and was fast and easy. They have a periodontist on-site and Dr. Dalwani is great and very knowledgeable. She is not only very well trained but she is also good with her hands. I think it is really important when someone is working on your teeth. They can have all the knowledge in the world but if their hands on are not up to par, it can deter long term relationships. Dr. Dalwani is both. The office assistants Mariana and Edwin are great, very organized and always provide detailed explanation of any procedures. No surprises here. This is the only place we’d ever go to for anything dental related.

I have been seeing Dr. Dalwani since August 2019, and her level of care and professionalism is unmatched. I put off seeing a dentist for a few years due to unpleasant experiences in the past with non holistic dentists, and I was so pleasantly surprised when I first went to the Center for Holistic Dentistry. Her front desk staff is so friendly and helpful, and her dental hygienists never rush or miss anything during a cleaning. Dr. Dalwani balances being professional and being warm and caring perfectly; she answers any and all questions I have with the intention to educate her patients. The dentist is notorious for causing anxiety; I have never had anxiety with Dr. Dalwani because she is constantly checking in and telling you exactly what she is doing in your mouth. She redid many old fillings and put in new fillings that have the grooves and feel of my actual teeth. Thank you Dr. Dalwani for really caring about your patients and their wellbeing!

I discovered Center for Holistic Dentistry approximately 5 years ago through Groupon. The quality of service was impeccable and Dr. Dalwanni is an outstanding dentist. She is so personable and caring about her clients that my husband and I decided to make her our permanent dentist. Out of my 30 plus years of going to dentists, I have never had a dentist call me at home to see how I’m doing after a percedure, except for Dr. D. I had a gum infection and she used ozone and laser treatments instead of antibiotics and my gums healed perfectly.  Sonja is the best! She is Dr. Dalwanni’s customer care/financial liaison. Since my husband and I dropped our dental insurance (it was too expensive and the additional out of pocket cost was high), she has helped us with payment arrangements that fit our budget. She has gone out of her way to sit with us and explain in details our different options. She is sweet, courteous, knowledgeable, and very professional. The hygienist is very thorough and detailed. The entire team at Center for Holistic Dentistry is wonderful!  Thanks Groupon!

Thank you Dr. Dalwani and the entire team for helping me with my mercury. I was referred my medical doctor to have my mercury fillings removed. I was suffering with GI problems and always had stomach issues. My doctor said this could be due to my 2 large  mercury fillings and sent me to Dr.Dalwani. They accommodated me asap and Dr. Dalwani explained the entire process thoroughly and removed my mercury fillings safely. I had no pain during or after the procedure. I came back 2 weeks later to have the porcelain onlays placed and they looked beautiful. I can’t even tell the difference  between the tooth and the onlay…it matches perfectly!!! I had ozone therapy which also helped me feel so much better after that toxic material was removed. Thank you Dr.Dalwani for being so kind and patient and helping through this whole intimidating ordeal.  I feel so fortunate to have found you

If I could give Dr.Delwani more than 5 stars I would. I have been going to her for 5 years now so this review is really well deserved. I had a failing root canal that had fractured and Dr. Delwani extracted the tooth quickly and painlessly. I had minimal pain after….I credit  that to her gentle touch and ozone. We discussed all my options and due to my advanced diabetes, we decided that implant surgery was not ideal for me and placed a bridge. I Also  had my concerns about the bridge because you have to remove alot of healthy tooth but Dr. dalwani was extra coservative and did an Onlay Bridge so only partial of my teeth were prepared. Its not just that her work is so beautiful and meticuluos it’s that she really took the time to listen me and make sure I was happy with the course of treatment. Thank you to the entire for making me so comfortable throughout the years…you’re the best!!!!

For someone who avoided dentists for several years, Dr. Dalwani and her wonderful staff made me comfortable, informed and pleased to be working with them all. Expertly trained, I felt they all took my concerns into account as well as explaining each procedure. Looking forward to a real progressive dentist handling my teeth instead of money-hungry, pain-inflicting and judge mental “professionals”. July 28, 2015, This is an updated review of Dr. Dalwani: I have visited her office three times, two of which were marathon drillings ( my own fault and neglect!). And still the Dr. treated me like the perfect patient whether I complained, pouted or just put a up a fuss. And the staff were wonderful and courteous, helping me forget the reason I was there. I will recommend Dr Dalwani’s office to everyone in need of professional and excellent service. PAINLESS too!

There are rare instances where I feel compelled to write a review, but the quality and care that I experienced at Center of Holistic Dentistry were of the utmost standards of excellence that a strong recommendation needs to be voiced. I thank my lucky stars that there is a dentist like Dr. Dalwani in the world. She is brilliant, gifted in her craft, and an absolute sweet heart with an all star staff behind her. Being a patient under her care was a life changing, monumental shift towards the path of great oral health. Simply put, the run-of-the-mill dentists cannot come anywhere near Dr. Dalwani’s holistic approach to dentistry.  I have to mention a special degree of gratitude to staff member Sonia. My extensive dental work would not have been possible without her. Her ability to comprehend and understand my patient needs is what allowed for the best treatment plan and financing. There are not enough adjectives to fully capture how extraordinary Sonia is but I think wonderful and magnificent come close. Her unique skill set of excellent communication and problem solving surpass anyone I’ve come across which is what makes her a key pillar to this practice. She is a shining example of what it is to be a professional.  Again, I strongly recommend and urge anyone who is seeking to improve their health to visit Center of Holistic Dentistry.  Overall, AMAZING experience!

Dr. Dalwani is simply amazing.  I hadn’t been to a dentist in an embarrassingly long time, and I was really anxious about going.  Every other dental visit has left me confused, in pain, and wondering what just happened to my mouth.  Dr. Dalwani and her incredible staff were so kind and comforting, explaining everything they were doing before they actually did it.  Thanks to her, I now know a visit to the dentist can actually be a positive experience. The initial exam was totally painless.  Her bedside manner really put me at ease; she was so considerate of how I felt and throughout the exam asked me how I was doing, or if I was in any pain.  After the exam, Dr. Dalwani took the time to sit down with me, and explain: 1) what was necessary, and 2) what was beneficial, but optional.  She even used visual aids!  During that visit, I also learned I would need to visit an endodontist due to an issue from some tooth trauma I had as a kid.  Not only was she able to refer me to one, her staff were able to schedule an appointment for right after my exam, with an endodontist right across the street! So far with Dr. Dalwani I’ve had 3 cavities filled, and a “safe removal” of one of my metal fillings (I had several metal fillings courtesy of prior dentists).  I learned there is a whole safety protocol for getting that mercury-filled alloy out of your teeth, and the process is remarkable.  Mercury is a very dangerous metal, so they isolate the tooth, making sure none of the metal falls into your mouth while they’re removing it.  There’s even a nearby vacuum hose that draws the fumes away while they work, and a little oxygen mask for your nose so you don’t inhale any of those toxic fumes.  And again, this was all completely painless!  I was shocked when I found out later that most dentists don’t even bother with any of this, because it’s not required in the US for metal filling removal.  But Dr. Dalwani actually cares about you and your overall health, so she goes above and beyond. I am so happy I found the Center for Holistic Dentistry!  I now have a dentist who I know wants the best for my health, and treats me with honesty and compassion.  I know so much more about my mouth now, and I feel like that empowers me to take better care of my oral health.  Thank you Dr. Dalwani!
