Our Team

Dr. Josephine Perez, DMD

Dr. Josephine Perez has been practicing dentistry for over 30 years. A graduate of Tufts University School of Dentistry in Boston, and interned at New Orleans Coast Guard/Navy Base.

Her holistic approach to dentistry encompasses each person’s unique and entire (or whole, therefore holistic) state of physical and emotional well-being. The ability to maintain our health through preventive measures and treatments of oral disease is our priority.

Dr. Perez focuses on the underlying condition, rather than only treating the symptoms. We also test for biocompatibility to find pathways to reduce inflammation and apply biocompatible and biomimetic materials, supplements, essential oils to restore and strengthen the oral cavity and ultimately, the whole body.

After decades of restoring and transforming smiles, Dr. Perez has integrated total wellness into her Oral Health enhancement Practice… A Revolutionary Style of Dentistry!
