Most dentists learn implantology on titanium. Dr. Litano went to the source of the metal-free alternative: Swiss BioHealth in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, founded by Dr. Ulrich Volz, the surgeon who developed the first FDA-cleared ceramic dental implant. He studied under Dr. Volz directly and remains the only dentist in the Tampa Bay area trained in the Swiss BioHealth protocol.
The Kreuzlingen training shapes every case at Natural Smiles. Implants are zirconia, never titanium. Preparation starts with vitamin D status and the patient’s full health history. Surgery is planned on low-radiation CBCT imaging and finished with ozone disinfection and LPRF drawn from the patient’s own blood.
Certified for the work most practices avoid
Dr. Litano holds IAOMT SMART certification for safe amalgam removal, a protocol he runs in a dedicated mercury isolation room with HEPA filtration, activated carbon capture, and supplemental oxygen. He sits on the board of directors of the Holistic Dental Association and belongs to the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology.
A practice built around the patient
Natural Smiles runs five private operatories with HEPA-filtered air and natural light, an in-house CAD/CAM lab that turns out zirconia restorations in about three hours, and a private apartment one floor above the clinic for the patients who fly in from across the U.S. Over 700 verified 5-star reviews on Google and Birdeye tell the rest of the story.
Pediatric care runs gently alongside Dr. Nalley, so families can keep every generation on one biological standard.
