Biohacking dentistry. Generation four.
Biological dentistry, since before it had a name.
The thesis.
You've optimised sleep, glucose, HRV, training, and stress. The mouth is the leverage point most have never tested. Chronic oral inflammation drives systemic CRP. Bite alignment shapes sleep quality. Mercury inhibits mitochondria. This is the next protocol in the stack.
Because you are a physical structure inside an energetic body — and every burden in the mouth is felt somewhere else.
The doctor · Dr. Alireza Panahpour, DDS
Fourth-generation practitioner. Sat in his father's chair at ten years old. Learned the architecture of teeth before he had words for most other things in the world — what survives, what fails, what the body will accept.
UCLA and Cal State Northridge in parallel for pre-medical studies. Accepted to dental school before the degree was finished. DDS from the University of the Pacific, Dugoni. Postgraduate at NYU. A Master's in electro-acupuncture — cardiothoracic program — at Columbia. The Alleman-Deliperi Center for Biomimetic Dentistry in Sardinia. Implantology in Sweden — the year Sweden banned mercury. Most recently, a Master's in aesthetic medicine from Queen Mary University of London.
Certified Instructor of Biomimetic Dentistry. Author of The Good Dentist (2016). Former Dental Director at South Coast Medical Center for New Medicine and La Luz Wellness Center in Mexico. His continuing-education pace runs about 2.5× the profession's requirement — every year, for thirty years.
Six standing protocols.
A short index of the standing procedures. Each engineered to remove a specific systemic burden — and to leave the body more capable than it was before the chair.
P · 01 Structural Alignment
An unbalanced bite radiates from the jaw through the skull, into the neck, down to the adrenals and sleep. Diagnose the chain. Realign it. The body recovers.
Tap each anchor on the anatomy to trace the chain.
0×
Bruxism roughly doubles the risk of implant loss. Material choice matters. Bite matters more.
Before & after · scroll to reveal
Same patient. Same pose. Three months of bite therapy between the two frames. Head-and-face detail obscured for privacy — every case is published with written authorization on file.
P · 02 Zirconia Implantology
Yttria-stabilised zirconia. No galvanic interference, no chronic metal load. The biocompatible standard for patients whose body knows the difference. Drag to compare the bone interface, vascularity, and biological response.
Drag to compare
Titanium · the conventional standard
Zirconia · in practice since 2001
P · 03 Safe Mercury Removal
Mercury vapor releases under heat and drilling. A standard removal makes the patient breathe what you were trying to take out. The SMART protocol is engineered so the load comes out and stays out.
↓0%
Published follow-up studies show geometric-mean urinary mercury falls back to amalgam-free baseline within a year of complete removal — with a two-month half-life the drop begins fast (Begerow 1994; Sandborgh-Englund 1998).
P · 04 Cavitation Surgery
When old extractions don't heal properly — wisdom teeth, failed root canals — a hidden cavity of soft tissue and biofilm remains in the jaw. Cone-beam CT finds it. Ozone and PRF clear it. A chronic, perpetual immune burden, finally lifted.
↓0%
Inflammation markers measured pre- and post-procedure across the practice's chronic-fatigue cohort.
P · 05 Ozone Therapy
Medical-grade ozone is the adjunct in every surgical and restorative procedure where the goal is to leave the tissue more capable than it was before. Sterilizes without antibiotics. Accelerates healing. Used by Dr. Panahpour since 2008.
0%+
Ozone reduces S. mutans, E. faecalis, and C. albicans biofilm by more than 99% within 60 seconds — with significantly lower cytotoxicity to human gingival and periodontal cells than chlorhexidine or sodium hypochlorite (Huth 2006; 2009).
P · 06 Biomimetic Restoration
Trained at the Alleman-Deliperi school in Sardinia. Conventional restorations replace tooth structure. Biomimetic restorations restore the tooth's mechanical behavior — and very often, they replace a root canal entirely.
SAME LIFE.
MORE TOOTH.
Peer-reviewed systematic reviews find bonded biomimetic restorations achieve survival rates comparable to conventional PFM crowns on posterior teeth — while conserving the enamel and dentin a crown would otherwise remove. The restoration matches. The tooth outlives.
Beyond the six.
The six protocols are the standing framework. These are the parallel disciplines Dr. Panahpour spent decades formalizing — trained where they are practiced best, applied only when the case calls for them, and priced without upsell.
Bite therapy
The primary entry point for structural cases. A single appliance realigns the bite so the skull, neck, shoulders, and hips can decompress inside weeks.
Facial aesthetics
Facial aesthetic treatments applied where clinically indicated as part of a whole-face, whole-body plan — never cosmetic in isolation.
Electro-acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture, cardiothoracic. A non-pharmaceutical adjunct for pain, inflammation, and post-surgical healing. Used across every protocol above.
Instructor · 5+ years
Trained and later taught Autonomic Response Testing, Applied Psycho-Neurobiology, and Mental Field Therapy — methods for locating hidden infections and toxins, and for treating pain that has no structural cause.

TV · NBC · 2014
I met Dr. Panahpour when I was nearly dying — spending hours a day seizing, barely cognitive, trapped in chronic illness. Others gave me thirty minutes. He and his wife Susie sat with me for over ninety, and came back many times. Three years later, I'm healthy and well. I've since referred another patient to him because I trust no one more in this field.

Recurring guest
I've had three surgeries with Dr. Panahpour and I couldn't be in better hands. His focus on the whole-body system, his constantly updated knowledge, and his genuine care for me as a patient are second to none. I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone who wants to understand the connection between oral health and body health.

The book.
In 2016, Dr. Panahpour published The Good Dentist — a collection of patient case stories drawn from two decades of integrative practice, written with Camilla Griggers, PhD. It remains one of the few books written for patients that frames dentistry as a discipline of whole-body medicine.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. I believe it may just be an easy way to improve your health, too. — Dr. Alireza Panahpour, The Good Dentist
The practices.
The work is done in person — nothing about the mouth-body diagnosis is remote. Patients begin in Brentwood or Sacramento depending on geography and case, and appointments are unhurried by design. Complex protocols may split across both locations.

The first conversation is long and unhurried — typically 60 to 90 minutes, phone or in person, unbilled. New patients are accepted by physician referral, by introduction from existing patients, and by the rare direct request from those who have already done the work to find this practice.
