Leonard T Fazio, DDS, PC – Atlantic Dental Wellness

Dr. Fazio is wonderful! I am beyond grateful that I found him. I’ve been wanting my amalgam fillings replaced for almost a decade now but something always stopped me. I was nervous about it being done safely /​having a dentist take me seriously. I tried bringing up the subject with other dentists and was told I was «being silly» or «Come on. Do you really think a small amount of mercury will hurt you?» I became discouraged and gave up for a while but when more information came my way recently and I became determined to find a way. I researched for a few weeks and finally came across Dr. Fazio’s website. He was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I called his office and spoke to a lovely receptionist (everyone in the office is extremely kind and helpful) who answered a few of my initial questions and recommended I come in for a consultation. I came in to talk with Dr. Fazio and it was everything I had hoped for. He is so personable and really took the time to listen to and answer all of my questions. He explained every detail of the procedure and really set my mind at ease. I had done a ton of research about how I should prep for heavy metal detoxing and he added to that by printing out detailed information for me about recommended supplements /​detox options. We talked for over an hour and I didn’t feel rushed or talked down to AT ALL. I live in Sunnyside, Queens (15 minutes from Manhattan) and it is well worth the 2 hour train ride to see Dr. Fazio in Port Jefferson. When I sit in the waiting room I can really tell that all of his patients are happy with their experiences. I had my first round of fillings replaced a week ago and it couldn’t have gone better. I knew exactly what to expect and felt SAFE. I’m getting the rest out this weekend and am so excited to finally have a mercury free mouth! If you’ve been thinking about having your amalgam fillings replaced — he’s your guy. Type his name into YouTube — there are several wonderful videos of him talking about how he runs his practice. I’m over the moon!

I’m very happy with everyone at Atlantic Dental. We’ve always been treated exceptionally. Dr Fazio has been able to answer after hours calls. He even has offered homeopathic alternatives when my son needed some minor pain relief after a filling. I’m happy we have a healthy alternative for dental care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Fazio for any dental work you are considering, but especially if you would like to remove your amalgam (mercury!) fillings. I had my amalgam fillings for 25+ years and had always been told by dentists that it was more dangerous to remove them (because of the exposure to mercury dust) than to simply let them be. Well, after many mercury-​poisioning symptoms (insomnia, thyroid issues, kidney stones, hair loss, brain fog, lack of emotion), I finally realized that I needed to get them removed to live a full and vibrant life again.
I researched the best way to remove amalgam filings and found Dr. Fazio, who was trained in traditional dentistry at NYU and then later at Dr. Hal Huggins (a legend in holistic dentistry, based in Colorado) in mercury amalgam removal protocol, which is, I believe, the best way to ensure you don’t get further poisoned by mercury. Check out Dr. Fazio’s website, have a consultation (he spent over an hour with me, patiently answering all of my questions). After that, you will not want your conventional dentist to simply drill them out and replace them! This is your overall health, not just a tooth or two (or in my case, nine!)! Dr. Fazio will provide an oxygen mask for your nose and will have multiple air suction devices going at once. He also knows the precise way to «cut» them out to minimize mercury dust. I travel more than 2 hours from CT to see him — absolutely worth it!
Since my amalgams were removed, I have no longer had hair loss (I have for years had to empty the tub drain hair catcher mid-​way through a shower and now only a few hairs are there at the end of a shower), I no longer have brain fog (I was stunned to suddenly able to speak French more fluently again, which I had learned as a child), and I am sleeping through the night consistently! I have followed the natural chelation protocol (heavy metal detox) by adding lots of greens (green drinks and salads), eating sulfurous veggies (onion, garlic, broccoli), drinking water with activated charcoal, taking garlic capsules and probiotics, and trying to sweat heavily in intense workouts (but saunas apparently work well too). All of this was through the guidance of Dr. Fazio. He truly cares about your overall health and will guide you through this journey to more vibrant health.

Dr Fazio is one of the few Holistic dentists on Long Island.
I used to go to him all the time years ago, Unfortunately I moved away and he is just too far to go to on a regular basis.
I had a problem with a tooth under a bridge that he had done for me several years ago, And no other dentist would touch it,
Dr Fazio Is hands down the best dentist I have ever gone too. Dr Fazio is also extremely friendly, And most painless dentist as well.
Dr Fazio always has a smile on and always extremely helpful as he was in this situation.
I highly recommend Dr fazio for all your dental needs especially if you live near Port Jefferson area.
I wished I lived closer as I would still go to him all the time.
******Hands down the best dentist on Long Island*******

Wow, Dr. Fazio is hands down an amazing holistic dentist! Recommended by a very close friend of mine, we drove quite the distance from NYC all the way to deep Long Island. Why you might ask? It has to do with the mercury poisoning odyssey that I’ve been on since 2001. To make a long story short, I was diagnosed with mercury poisoning, and one of the steps to a full detox is to remove those pesky amalgam fillings in my mouth.
If a dentist tells you that those silver fillings contain NO mercury, you’re being LIED to, yes it’s a lie. Removing the amalgam fillings is a very sensitive, specialized procedure, like an operation. A regular dentist CANNOT do it. You need to go to holistic dentist specialized in amalgam filling removals. And the office, equipment etc. has to be state of the art so you don’t get re-​poisoned in the process.
Dr. Fazio’s office is impressive. Start of the art air-​filtration, suction, high-​tech equipment. The procedure is very safe! You are given activated charcoal, a dam for the throat to prevent mercury from getting into your stomach and of course oxygen…
I had my left side removed and replaced with resin! Scary, who doesn’t like drilling. But I did it without any anesthetic, go figure. A little topical was applied, but no needles, nada! Be brave.
Dr. Fazio’s manner is professional and warm. I felt very comfortable and at ease before, during and after the procedure. He answers your questions and provides advice on what supplements to take prior and afterwards.
The oral hygenist is excellent too! Made my pearly whites gorgeous before my amalgam removal.
Although it’s a long drive, it’s definitely worth it to travel to a great dentist. If you have those silver fillings in your mouth, go to Dr. Fazio and get them removed ASAP!
Trust me… your health will thank you.
