You heard that right.

Whether you have dental insurance or prefer a personalized treatment approach, you're welcome here. My goal is to provide advanced specialty level care while helping you make the best long-term decisions for your smile and your health.
Come see me with confidence.
No more feeling lost in the woods.
Together, we'll find the right path to a healthier smile.
Before I became a dentist, I was a nurse. I learned the human body first all of it, not just the mouth. That foundation changed everything about how I diagnose, how I treat, and how I listen.
I've trained in three specialties. So when something isn't working when a graft keeps failing, when the pain won't go away, when nobody can give you a straight answer I can see it from angles most doctors simply can't.
I don't just look at what failed. I look at "why it failed " the bone quality, the systemic health, the full history, the pattern. Nothing gets missed. Nothing gets treated in isolation. Every diagnosis connects. Every treatment plan is whole-body aware.
Patients fly in from London, Tokyo, and New York. Dentists trust me with their own care. And every single time the answer was there.
"That's what addressing the biological issue means to me. Not a buzzword. A promise." Slightly long but clear.

Patient Stories
Rober Levin MD Root Canal Bone Graft & LANAP
"As a physician practicing in New York City, I have had the opportunity to work with many exceptional healthcare professionals throughout my career. Dr. Ellis stands apart because he understands that oral health is not isolated from the rest of the body. He recognizes the important relationship between gum health, chronic inflammation, the immune system, cardiovascular health, and overall wellbeing.
What impressed me most was his rare combination of expertise in LANAP - Gum disease treatment, root canal therapy, dental implants, and complex restorative dentistry.
Dr. Ellis was among the earliest LANAP-certified clinicians and has decades of experience helping me preserve teeth that might otherwise be lost.
Too often, healthcare focuses on managing symptoms. Dr. Ellis focuses on understanding why the problem exists in the first place. His commitment to finding the root cause, combined with his biologic and whole health approach, is what makes him unique.
Many dentists can place implants. Many dentists can perform procedures. Far fewer possess the experience and judgment to determine when a tooth can be saved, when gum disease can be reversed, and when a comprehensive solution is needed. That level of expertise comes only from decades of treating complex cases.
If a member of my family needed advanced dental care, severe gum disease treatment, root canal therapy, or dental implants, Dr. Ellis would be among the very first professionals I would call.
Patients travel from around the world seeking his expertise. After meeting Dr. Ellis and seeing the depth of his knowledge, it becomes clear why."

6 Root Canal Retreatment & LANAP® Success Story
"I traveled all the way from Tokyo to see Dr. Ellis. And I would do it again without hesitation !!
As a physician, I had undergone extensive dental treatment over the years — multiple root canals, cosmetic work, and more. For several years everything seemed fine. Then slowly, the pain returned. Recurring inflammation. Discomfort that no one could fully explain. I visited many respected dental professionals in Japan. Nothing resolved it.
As a woman in my 40s, I began noticing a pattern. My symptoms worsened at certain times of the month, particularly around my hormonal cycle. My immune system felt like it was weakening. The inflammation continued despite everything I tried.
What made this truly frightening was that I am a doctor. Every day in my clinic I was watching patients suffer from chronic inflammation — seeing firsthand its devastating connections to heart disease, brain health, and conditions like Alzheimer's. I knew this science deeply. I warned my own patients about it.
And I could not help myself.
For over a year I was in pain, exhausted, and honestly — I was going out of my mind. I became genuinely afraid. A physician who could not find answers for her own body. That fear is something I will never forget.
A physician colleague who had trained in Colorado and personally been a patient of Dr. Ellis told me: "Dr. Ellis possesses a unique combination of skills that is almost impossible to find anywhere else. The depth of his evaluation, his understanding of complex dental problems, and his focus on finding the root cause were unlike anything I had ever experienced." I booked my flight the next day.
"Dr. Ellis was unlike any dentist I had ever met from the very first moment." He did not treat my symptoms he found the cause. He reviewed my previous root canal treatments with extraordinary precision and identified hidden issues that had been silently driving inflammation throughout my body, issues that had gone completely undetected for years.
That was more than 5 years ago. I have been free from recurring pain and inflammation ever since.
I am a physician and I say this with complete conviction: root canal health and gum care are not just dental issues. They are directly connected to your heart, your brain, and your immune system. Unresolved oral inflammation can contribute to Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, and immune breakdown. This is not opinion — this is science. And Dr. Ellis understands it at a level I have rarely encountered, even among the finest medical professionals I know.
If you are suffering and no one has given you real answers — Dr. Ellis is that answer.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Ellis.
"Your care made a life-changing difference for me and I believe, for every patient fortunate enough to find you."

After 3 Failed Bone Grafts: A Life-Changing Success Story
"After three failed bone grafts and a failed root canal, I was exhausted, discouraged, and honestly beginning to lose hope. Every procedure seemed to lead to another setback. I spent years searching for answers, investing time, money, and energy, only to find myself facing the same problems over and over again.
When I met Dr. Ellis, everything changed.
Rather than focusing only on my teeth, he looked at the whole picture. He explained how gum health, root health, bone quality, inflammation, nutrition, and overall health all work together. No other dentist had ever taken that approach with me.
Dr. Ellis helped me understand why my previous bone grafts had failed and how my body could better support healing. His biologic and whole-body philosophy completely changed the way I thought about dental health, nutrition, minerals, and long-term wellness.
Today, more than five years later, I am still a patient of Dr. Ellis. Not because I have problems, but because I want to keep my teeth, roots, gums, and overall health in the best condition possible.
I no longer live with pain. I no longer worry about recurring dental problems. Most importantly, I no longer waste years searching for answers.
Dr. Ellis did more than restore my dental health. He restored my confidence, my comfort, and my quality of life.
Finding Dr. Ellis was one of the best decisions I have ever made."
— Thank you so much for Life Changing Experiences !

What impressed me most about Dr. Ellis was his understanding that every patient is unique. He looks beyond the teeth and considers factors such as inflammation, nutrition, oral microbiome health, and overall wellbeing.
Rather than simply treating symptoms, Dr. Ellis focuses on finding the root cause of the problem.
His comprehensive and personalized approach helped me understand the connection between oral health and whole-body performance in a way I had never experienced before.
Dr. Ellis combines exceptional clinical skill with a deep commitment to understanding each patient as an individual. That level of care is rare and is one of the reasons I confidently recommend him to family, friends, and fellow athletes."
