About The Natural Tooth
The Natural Tooth provides dental care on Village Center in Lafayette, California. Holistic, or biological, dentistry applies standard dental diagnosis and treatment within an approach that emphasises material choice and conservative treatment, considering oral health as connected to the body more broadly rather than treating the mouth in isolation.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

I am a new patient to this clinic and already had two amazing experiences. Fixed a broken half crown and helped me with an infected tooth. Everything was explained to me clearily with all the available options.Absolutely professional and yet friendly staff: from the dentists to front desk. You feel like you are in very competent ( and gentle) hands. 100% recommended.
Professional, friendly staff and a great experience.
Excellent staff and doctors. Very thorough, thoughtful care!
Fun and friendly staff. Also very knowledgeable and thorough.
I am a new patient, but already feel at home with the team at The Natural Tooth! I had to switch dentists because my former dentist dropped my insurance carrier- but the staff at The Natural Tooth were able to squeeze me in for an appointment a couple days after I called. Great bedside manner by the hygienist and doctor, which was much appreciated by this Nervous Nellie that has a lot of dental issues- ekkkk. The front desk administrators were kind and filled me in (no pun intended) on what to expect in future visits/costs. Happy I found this place.
I just had another appointment for cleaning and and review and can’t express my gratitude to Dr Jardine and the entire staff enough in person so that’s why I put it writing . It has been a years since my wife and I moved to Dr Jardine’s practice and it was the best decision we have done 😀. Solid work & caring staff.
I had an excellent experience at this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a friendly and professional team. The office is spotless, calming, and beautifully maintained, creating a comfortable environment from start to finish. What truly sets this practice apart is its holistic approach to dental care. The staff takes the time to listen, educate, and focus on overall wellness rather than just treating symptoms. I felt genuinely cared for and never rushed during my visit. The entire team is knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed to providing high-quality care. If you're looking for a clean, welcoming, and holistic dental office that prioritizes both your oral health and overall well-being, I highly recommend this practice.
I have had a very positive experience here and wanted to leave a review because their patience and professionalism have genuinely made a difference for me. I have a physical issue where I tend to cough and gag a lot during dental work, which can make appointments difficult and stressful. Instead of getting frustrated or rushing through things, they take the time needed to make me comfortable and work at a pace that allows me to rest and recover when needed. When I have more involved work done, the staff goes out of their way to help make the experience easier. They will bring in extra help when needed for things like additional suction to keep fluid out of my mouth, giving me breaks, and even simply talking to me during procedures to help distract me and keep me calm. I never feel rushed or like I am inconveniencing them. Another thing I really appreciate is how they communicate with me. In my experience, many dentists either lecture patients like children or repeat the same things over and over as if you are not listening. That has not been my experience here at all. They talk to me like an adult, give their advice respectfully, and leave it at that. I also had a very traumatic experience with a dentist as a child, which caused me to avoid dentists for much of my adult life. They have been very understanding of that and have shown a level of patience and compassion that I honestly did not expect. If you are someone who struggles with dental anxiety, sensitivity, gag reflex issues, or difficult past experiences, I would absolutely recommend giving this office a try.
I loved the Natural Tooth it felt humble and homey with all the state-of-the-art technology and the staff was friendly. The dental experience was pleasant.
