A whole-body approach to dentistry and holistic living.
The Dental Practice of Dr. John Johnson, DDS
Our approach
At Midwest BioHealth, we strive to offer exceptional holistic and biological dental care, outstanding customer service, and unparalleled patient experience! Dr. Johnson performs all of the restorative dental work at our practice and is dedicated to improving your overall health by safely removing amalgam/mercury fillings. We do not participate in ANY dental networks which allow our staff to give each patient the time to ask questions, receive only high-quality dental work and materials, and not be rushed in and out of the office. We are currently the only office in the Midwest with a safe/clean room for amalgam/mercury removals. You do not need to worry about becoming sick or contaminated while your teeth are being cleaned and repaired.

What Our Patients Say
“Over a year ago Dr. Johnson replaced a fifteen year old crown in my tooth with one more compatible with my body. Before he replaced my old crown I felt exhausted all the time. It was a struggle to do anything. I had not the energy or the strength. I felt like I was dragging my body around. Since the old crown was replaced I’ve had noticeable health improvements. Improvements include; It is easier for me to get up and do things. I can breathe more deeply and easily. Color has returned to my face. My digestion has improved. My eyes look more rested and gone is the continuous tired look in them. Migraines with nausea appear to be gone. I am so grateful for the above improvements and I’m excited about other possible health improvements. “
-Debra Nelson-Woodstock, OH.
Dr. Johnson, I wanted you to know that after the extraction of a cracked tooth, I experienced an unexpected event. A spot in my lower back around my left sacroiliac joint had been “pinching” for several months, unresponsive to any treatment modalities. After the extraction, the pinching sensation disappeared and has not returned a month later.
Thank you for the unexpected relief. -S (initial only used at patients request)
