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 directly under Dr. Volz in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, and uses the Swiss BioHealth protocol at his practice in the Tampa Bay area.
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 CBCT imaging and finished with ozone disinfection and LPRF drawn from the patient’s own blood.
Certified for the work most practices avoid
Dr. Carlo Litano holds IAOMT SMART certification for careful amalgam removal, a protocol he follows in a dedicated mercury isolation room with HEPA filtration, activated carbon capture, and supplemental oxygen. He serves on the board of directors of the Holistic Dental Association and belongs to the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology.
A practice centered on the patient
Natural Smiles offers 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 patients who fly in from across the U.S. Over 700 reviews averaging 4.9 stars on Google, Facebook and Healthgrades tell the rest of the story.
