At Spring Smiles, we understand that oral health is a direct indicator of whole-body health and function. Our conservative, gentle philosophy is to help patients identify and correct oral health risks before they become larger issues. We are proud to partner with our patients to encourage positive oral hygiene habits and educate our community about dental health. We do this because we truly believe in the life-changing power of a healthy, confident smile.
For the past 13 years, Dr. Duncan has been devoted to developing Spring Smiles into the go-to practice for those who seek a different approach to dentistry. Dr. Duncan was introduced to holistic and integrative dentistry while still in dental school and attended his first IAOMT meeting prior to graduation in 2012.
He spent the first 7 years of his career honing his skills and developing expertise in all areas of dental care before starting his own holistic practice in 2019. During this time, Dr. Duncan has earned a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, an accomplishment shared by only the top 6% of dentists nationwide. He has also earned his accreditation with the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology), further distinguishing himself among those most dedicated to providing dentistry that is compatible with whole-body health.
Dr Duncan is committed to remaining at the forefront of holistic dentistry, regularly participating in IAOMT meetings and contributing in a leadership role. He is committed to making Spring Smiles a practice that you can trust to provide truly holistic dental care, in a time when dentistry is becoming a commodity and “holistic” has been diluted into a marketing buzzword on many websites.
Dr Duncan is the premier dentist for SMART-certified safe amalgam removal, having provided this service for many patients, both locally and nationwide. He has been a member of Spear Education, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and is an Invisalign provider. He invites you to experience dentistry done differently at Spring Smiles
