She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans, known for its strong clinical training. Dr. Amore's interest in holistic medicine and dentistry began during her dental school years when she attended the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology meetings on a student scholarship. She now attends these meetings biannually and pursues extensive Continuing Education. Before practicing dentistry in Florida, Dr. Amore worked alongside a holistic dentist in Kansas City. She is certified in the S.M.A.R.T technique for safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings, and is an accredited member of the IAOMT. Her expertise includes fillings, esthetic composite crowns, structural dentistry, and surgical extractions using platelet-rich fibrin techniques.
Dr. Amore's special interests encompass toxicology, prevention of root canals, sleep medicine, airway, and early childhood interventions. She employs a conservative Bioclear technique with fluoride-free and BPA-free materials to preserve enamel tooth structure for restorations. As a Healthy Start and Myobrace provider, she addresses sleep-disordered breathing in children. Dr. Amore has completed courses on breathing-related issues in infants, children, and adults and is trained in treatment of tethered oral tissues and interceptive orthodontic treatments to promote jaw development for growing children and adults. She emphasizes the mind-body-mouth connection and collaborates with patients to create specific holistic plans addressing root causes of disease.
Outside of her practice, Dr. Amore enjoys connecting with her community in Florida, learning new things, beach relaxation, salsa and bachata dance, and various wellness activities such as yoga and meditation. She is a travel enthusiast, loves feeling connected to nature, cooking ethnic foods, and spending time with her family back home in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Dr. Martina Mallery
DDS, NMD, IBDM, AIAOMT
Dr. Martina Mallery was born and raised in communist Czechoslovakia and she always had a passion for health care. She went to nursing school in Prague and earned her Dietary Nursing degree in 1988. Soon after the communist regime fell, she relocated to the United States to experience freedom and democracy and to pursue her college education. In 1999, she graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with a Bachelor of Science degree in Cell and Molecular Biology. In 2004, she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University Of Southern California School Of Dentistry in Los Angeles. She was practicing conventional dentistry until she opened her mind to holistic/biological methods and concepts she came across in her private studies. As her independent research and interest in holistic/biological dentistry deepened, she began introducing these methods into her practice. She became an active member of International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, and Holistic Dental Association. These organizations publish peer-reviewed studies that present compelling scientific evidence that certain dental materials and procedures routinely used in modern dentistry have a potential to cause autoimmune disorders and other degenerative diseases including cancer. In order to align with the emerging science, Dr. Mallery decided to convert fully to a biological/holistic dental practice in 2017.
Since then, Dr. Mallery has become an Accredited Biological Dentist by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. She is also certified for SMART protocol, which stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. She also went on to study at the American College of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry, School of Biological Dentistry and Medicine to earn a degree of a Board Certified Naturopathic Dentist. Her practice is free of all fluoride-containing dental materials, she stopped recommending root canal therapy as a long-term definitive treatment, and she practices metal-free dentistry. She offers dental material biocompatibility testing when indicated. Further, she completed advanced training in procedures such as biological tooth extractions, treatment of jaw bone cavitations, and ozone therapy in dentistry.
In her spare time Dr. Mallery enjoys biking, kayaking at the Florida springs, and going to the beach. She also loves traveling locally and internationally with her sons, Martin and Lucas. Together they have visited many countries including Peru, Iceland, and Bosnia Herzegovina.
