Link Dental Health
Our oral health is deeply connected to our overall well-being - what happens in the mouth often reflects what’s happening throughout the body, and vice versa.
We take the time to look beyond symptoms, focusing on the root causes of imbalance and disease. In caring for each patient, we consider not only physical health but also the lifestyle and environmental factors that influence overall wellness.
We offer minimally invasive, biocompatible dental care for adults and children, grounded in the latest research and guided by a holistic approach to health.
Welcome to , a new Biological Dental practice where we believe in optimizing whole body health
DR. YULIA PATERSON
MEET
Dr. Yulia Paterson is a board-certified biological and functional dentist, naturopath, integrative nutritionist and a health advocate. Her practice is a new model of dental health where the focus is on the whole patient allowing us to utilize the root cause approach. Our goal is to change the way health practitioners and patients look at health and introduce them to an integrative model of healthcare where each symptom has a cause and all providers collaborate together.
Her journey into dentistry began when she was a child. She grew up in her father's dental clinic in Ukraine, often spending her days playing in his office. Witnessing the gratitude that her father's patients expressed for him instilled the love for dentistry in her. She practiced traditional dentistry in New York and North Carolina for almost two decades. Although the traditional model of health care trained her to treat the patient's symptoms, it took another two years of continuing education to learn how to identify and treat the root cause of those symptoms and support the body in its healing process.

Women’s Oral Health
book an appointment
A woman’s oral health changes with hormones throughout her life. At Link Dental Health, we take a biological, whole-body approach to support women at every stage - from puberty and reproductive years to pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. Hormonal shifts can affect your mouth through gum inflammation, sensitivity, teeth shifting, cavities, and bone changes.
Our goal is to provide personalized, biocompatible care that supports long-term oral and systemic wellness. We assess systemic inflammatory markers, monitor nutrient levels, and help optimize metabolic and hormonal health. Your microbiome and stress levels are also considered as we guide you toward overall oral and body wellness.
