Testimonials & Dr. May Reviews
“After years of seeing traditional dentists who could never tell me what was wrong, I finally found real answers with Dr. May. I learned about biological dentistry and discovered that my pain was coming from infected root canalssomething no other dentist had the technology or motive to confirm before.
Dr. May removed three root canals and replaced them with ceramic implants, and the entire process was far easier and more painless than I ever expected.
Beyond the incredible clinical care, the environment in this office is truly special. Everyone is so kind, supportive, and welcoming, you can genuinely tell they are like family there. For the first time in years, I feel heard, understood, and finally out of pain.
I’m beyond grateful and would highly recommend Dr. May to anyone searching for real answers and compassionate care. I highly recommend and hope that more doctors/healthcare providers follow in the footsteps of Dr. May.”

“Dr. May is the best. Very caring and talented. He is highly motivated to be up on the very best he can do for his patients.
Although I had been seen by another holistic dentist, Dr. May puts a whole new spin on the concept/practice.
He’s sincerely concerned about helping you to feel and look your best. He goes the extra for you to make sure you’re happy and that all is well (and comfortable) with your oral health and how that relates to your general well being; and he knows a LOT!
In addition if you ask Dr. May something for which he has no answer, there’s no pride getting in the way of him admitting that and attempting to try to find the answer, if he suspects it might be worthwhile. In other words, he is growing, and you will benefit from his process, as he will continue to share what he learns with his patients. All this is said without any solicitation and I have absolutely no relationship with anyone in the office other than as a fairly (4 visits) new patient who has received great care.
You must be prepared (as I was) to spend more out of pocket than you might for some other dentists but you’re spending that for important things you cannot get in just any dental chair. In addition I hear that his office staff does their best to work with your insurance (if you have some) to get the best coverage they can for you. Perhaps I’ll have insurance in another year or so. I expect if/when that is the case, they’ll help me with that too. Enjoy!”

“I have traveled out of state [flew from Chicago to Connecticut] to see Dr. May for a root canal removal and ceramic implant.
Dr. May and his entire staff are true professionals and extremely attentive to every detail! I truly appreciate their holistic dentistry approach in addressing any concerns their patients have.
I felt at ease during all my appointments, and I couldn’t recommend Dr. May and his staff more!
I am very grateful for their help and care! God bless them!"

“After years of unsatisfactory dentistry, I was made aware of Dr May. I loved the fact that he approaches dentistry from a
holistic side. I couldn’t tell you how much money and poor dentistry I’ve been through for 25 years. After having a root canal done a decade ago, it bothered me constantly and I would visit my old dentists multiple times a years with complaints about it. They always said the same thing. “We’ll keep an eye on it”. An eye on it lead to expensive Band-Aid dentistry. Back and forth, more money for subpar quality.
I had had enough. I finally took the leap of faith and went to see Dr May.
Dr May went through my whole mouth starting with safe removal of mercury fillings and from there, outstanding gum graphs, sinus lift, ceramic implants and extensive dentistry where needed.
I’m truly grateful and amazed by his talent and the final results. An extremely natural looking, confident smile I hadn’t had in years. I highly recommend him and his awesome staff. They have a customer for life now with me. I go out of my way to tell people about him and his
staff and how satisfied I am with them. Thanks for everything!”

“Dr. May and his team are truly exceptional. From the outset, it was evident that they excel in their craft. After researching extensively across major cities like NYC, Boston, and Rhode Island for a top-notch zirconia dental implant specialist, I found Dr. May's office to be unparalleled in their knowledge and expertise in metal-free implants. Their new patient team is incredible, from the first call, where the new patient team not only provided detailed before and after photos of zirconia implants but also thoroughly explained the range of ceramic implant options available, including all costs and pricing. They even asked where the implant would be placed, to mention costs of sinus lifts if it’s an upper tooth. The new patient staff member who spoke to me was so thorough, felt like a mini consult!
I was wowed before the appointment lol. Obviously the first call made completely at ease about proceeding. I'm grateful to have discovered Dr. May and his holistic practice.
Beyond zirconia implants, he is renowned for his biological dentistry, skillfully performing procedures like root canal removals and placing stunning front tooth implants. In fact, I'm already recommending a friend for a front tooth implant after her front bridge began failing.
Dr. May himself is such a humble human and an example of integrity. His approach to zirconia implants and oral surgery is one of a kind
with PRF and ozone. His talent is evident not only in his extensive experience but also in the genuine care he shows each patient. The
The entire staff exudes warmth, care, and kindness, from consultation to post-procedure follow-up. I adore Dr. May and the team.
My zirconia implant procedure was remarkably comfortable with minimal post-operative pain, a testament to his protocols and expertise. I
didn’t even take an Advil, just arnica and saltwater rinses with a rinse he gave me.
Thank you, Dr. May and team, for your exceptional care and expertise. You have transformed my entire dentistry experience and have set very high expectations for future experiences. I doubt I’ll be seeing anyone else for my oral care in the future.

“If there was an option to give Dr. May's entire practice TEN STARS, I would! I was suffering from brain fog and depression. Upon my research I realized it had all started when I had mercury fillings done in 2019. I found Dr. May online from a google search and booked an appointment immediately. The office is state of the art and absolutely immaculate. The staff was so kind and explained everything thoroughly. Dr. May is a real joy and a treasure with his dentistry knowledge and wholistic approach. I will also add that the music he plays in the office is energetic and invigorating. I felt like I was on a European vacation! Julia, a TRUE earth angel, who manages the front desk booked me for a safe amalgam removal.
When I came back for my next appointment, I was so confident that I made the right choice. The process was painless, safe and swift. I also got some fantastic zeolite supplements from them to make sure there was no microscopic particles left in my body.
I noticed a difference almost immediately. Brain fog had lifted, and I started to have a much more positive disposition.
A year later now, I have gone from a size 4XL to a large. I am exercising regularly and eating clean and living a non toxic lifestyle. I owe a lot of that to Dr. May and his staff for helping me get my life back on track. Sometimes all you need is a kind and caring health practitioner and a supportive staff to inspire you to completely change your life around. All you need is an open mind, trust and faith. I encourage you to visit Dr. May's office. You will NOT be sorry. It was the best health decision I have made in my entire life. Their practice is light-years ahead of mainstream dentistry. Sending love and gratitude to Dr. May and his whole office!”

“Dr. May had to do a tricky front extraction and replace it with a ceramic implant. My own dentist couldn’t believe my
front tooth was an implant - it looked so good.
The entire process from the consultation, extractions, to implants and crowns was one of the best dental experiences I have had. ( not that any of us want a lot of dental experiences).
Dr. May and his team are amazing! He is knowledgeable and takes time to listen to your questions and answer them. Highly recommend!”
Andrea, New York
“Dr. May and his team are incredible! Natural Dentistry has helped me become more aware of the value of biological dentistry from a practical standpoint, while they also exhibit more excellence and heart than I have experienced anywhere else.
I have had lots of dental work in the past including implants, extractions, gum surgery, braces, palate expander, and jaw supports, all of which happened with multiple providers which has come with varied experiences.
Since becoming a patient of the practice two years ago, I have now had the pleasure of working with Natural Dentistry for extractions, implants, myofunctional therapy, frenectomy, cavitation, cleaning, as well as routine dental visits for myself and the rest of the family. With each visit, the work was done with care and amazing teamwork led by Dr. May, who is constantly seeking to grow in best practices, a gift that is evident in the excellence it cultivates amidst this incredible practice.
When complications presented, which were unforeseen, Dr. May and his team were very thorough, caring, and professional in addressing them. Everyone from the hygiene chair, surgical suite, front desk and behind-the-scenes professionals operate seamlessly to provide amazing service. Being a patient of Natural Dentistry has been an amazing experience! ( not that any of us want a lot of dental experiences).

Biological Dentistry Changed Her Life - Recovery After Root Canal Removal + Ceramic Implants
Removing tainted root canals may potentially help reverse disease and prevent future health issues. A root canal is viewed differently between conventional dentists and biological dentists. Whether patients choose to avoid a root canal, remove a root canal (an extraction with PRF and ozone) and replace it with a zirconia dental implant or to follow a more conventional method, such as re-root-canal (a repeat root canal) the goal is to educate patients and readers and help them make the healthiest decision for their health and wellbeing.
