Dr. Nammy Patel, DDS, is a leading biological dentist and founder of Green Dentistry in San Francisco, where she works with patients who know their health deserves a deeper, more precise approach.
With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Patel has become a trusted resource for patients from around the world—particularly those navigating chronic illness, cancer recovery, or persistent symptoms that have not improved despite seeing multiple providers. She also works with high-performing individuals and biohackers who want to optimize energy, sleep, and long-term resilience at the highest level.
Her work is grounded in a simple but often overlooked truth: the mouth can be a significant source of inflammation, infection, and structural imbalance that impacts the entire body. Using advanced diagnostics and a whole-body lens, Dr. Patel identifies hidden contributors such as oral bacteria, airway restriction, material sensitivities, cavitations (areas of chronic jawbone infection), and unresolved dental issues that may be placing stress on the immune system and limiting the body’s ability to heal.
Her care is highly personalized and intentionally designed for patients who require more than standard dentistry. She specializes in biological and airway-focused treatments, including safe mercury removal, cavitation treatment, oral microbiome optimization, laser and ozone therapies, and biocompatible, non-toxic restorations. She also offers metal-free dentistry. When appropriate, she integrates structural airway support through myofunctional therapy and custom orthopedic appliances to create lasting change—not temporary symptom relief.
Patients seek out Dr. Patel when they are ready for clarity, precision, and a higher level of care. Many have been told “everything looks fine,” yet still feel unwell. Her role is to look deeper, connect the dots, and create a clear, personalized path forward.
This is a practice designed for individuals who value answers, who prioritize their health, and who are ready to invest in a comprehensive approach that supports healing, performance, and long-term vitality.
Most biological dentists focus on safer materials. Our approach goes further by addressing the full oral-systemic connection—airway, jaw structure, oral microbiome, and inflammation—together. This allows us to create a more complete, personalized plan designed to support how your body functions, heals, and performs over time.
We use advanced diagnostics combined with a whole-body framework to identify patterns that may be contributing to symptoms—such as chronic oral inflammation, airway restriction, microbiome imbalance, material sensitivities, or jawbone health concerns. The focus is on understanding the full picture rather than treating isolated findings.
Yes. Many of our patients are navigating chronic illness, cancer recovery, or ongoing symptoms that have not improved despite multiple treatments. Care is carefully tailored to reduce oral inflammatory burden and support the body’s ability to heal, often in coordination with your broader healthcare team.
Care is approached in phases. We typically begin by stabilizing inflammation and reducing bacterial burden, then address deeper structural and functional factors such as airway and jaw development. This allows the body to respond more effectively and avoids overwhelming the system.
We evaluate jawbone health using advanced imaging and clinical indicators. When areas of chronic inflammation or cavitations are identified, treatment focuses on reducing bacterial burden and supporting proper healing in a controlled, biologically supportive way.
Yes. For patients seeking a more biocompatible approach, we offer ceramic, metal-free implants and restorations. Material selection is always personalized based on your health history, sensitivities, and long-term goals.
Rather than simply eliminating bacteria, we focus on restoring balance. This includes targeted therapies, hygiene strategies, and ongoing maintenance to support a stable, resilient oral environment over time.
Airway health is a foundational part of overall health. We assess breathing, jaw structure, and tongue posture to identify factors that may be impacting sleep quality, energy, and recovery. When appropriate, treatment may include myofunctional therapy and structural support to improve function long term.
While each patient is unique, many report improvements in energy, sleep quality, inflammation, and overall well-being as oral health is stabilized and underlying contributors are addressed. Our goal is long-term change, not temporary symptom relief.
This practice is best suited for individuals who want a comprehensive, root-cause approach and are ready for a more personalized level of care. Many patients come to us after trying multiple solutions and are looking for clarity and a structured path forward
Patients often seek our care when they are looking for answers they have not found elsewhere. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics with a systems-based understanding of health to deliver a level of precision and personalization that is not widely available.
Treatment is typically phased and tailored to your needs. We provide a clear roadmap so you understand each step, the purpose behind it, and how it supports your overall health goals.
Because of the personalized nature of care, we accept a limited number of new patients each month to ensure each patient receives the time, attention, and precision required.
