Mercury-Free & Health-Centered Dental Care
Achieving or maintaining your body’s optimum health is our number one priority. Restoring your mouth to help support this process is our business. As an experienced Livermore family dentist, Dr. Eccles emphasizes esthetics so that restored teeth look natural, without the “repaired” look. This we do while assuring that all potentially toxic dental materials are safely removed. As a 30+ year fellow and board member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology (IAOMT), he proudly upholds the established creed of “Show Me The Science”.
Our Dentist
Dr. Eccles has 45 years experience as a family dentist in Livermore, 40 of them emphasizing toxic-free alternative and health-centered dentistry. “Being a dentist gives me great opportunities to help improve people’s lives; especially those of you who have been searching for a caring dentist that understands these serious issues.”
As a health-centered dentist in Livermore, Dr. Eccles emphasizes conservative treatment, especially trying to minimize the need for crowns and root canal therapy while choosing safe alternative therapies and materials.
“My objective as a health-centered family dentist is to help educate about the seriousness of achieving a healthy mouth. This means one that is free of toxic materials and excessive electrical currents generated by dissimilar metals in the mouth. I understand how important it is that to have a healthy body one must also have a healthy mouth and vice versa.”

Our Dental Hygienist (Retired) – Janet
As many of our patients know, Janet has been a part of our practice for 28 years. Some of our patients have been seeing Janet longer than that! In her 43-year career as a Registered Dental Hygienist, she has brought much joy, education, and her love of sports to her patients.
We were truly fortunate to have Janet as part of our practice for almost three decades. Her decision to retire did come after being out on medical leave just after the pandemic started. Janet said she is looking forward to retirement as it will give her an opportunity to spend more time with her grandchildren. However, she will deeply miss seeing her patients as she has gotten to know and build strong friendships with them. “That part is going to be the hardest for me.” She stated.
