Her Own Body Taught Her What Dentistry Was Missing
Dr. Leedia did not arrive at biological dentistry through a textbook. She arrived through her own pregnancy, and what it did to her teeth.
“After a turbulent pregnancy and birth with shocking dental repercussions, my career as a dentist was changed forever.”
Conventional training had no explanation for what she went through, because conventional training treats the mouth as a closed system. Hormones, nutrition, and the microbiome were somebody else’s department.
She rebuilt her entire practice around the connection nobody had taught her. It is now the thing she is known for.
What Dr. Leedia Is Known For
Life-Stage Care for Women
Dental care organized around hormonal life stage, rather than one generic protocol applied to every woman.
- Adolescence, when cavity risk rises sharply
- Pregnancy, where oral health reaches the baby
- Perimenopause and beyond, with its own distinct pattern
Responsible Cosmetic Dentistry
A term she coined, for beautiful work that does not sacrifice healthy tooth structure to get there.
- Exhaust the conservative options first
- Preview the result before you commit to it
- Built to last decades, not to photograph well once
Protocols of Her Own
Methods she developed and now teaches, rather than techniques she inherited.
- The Integrative Extraction Protocol
- The Nasal Hygiene Protocol
- The BLOOM, FLORA, and SAGE Experiences
- A remineralization protocol for early decay in children
Where You May Have Heard Her
A recurring guest on health and wellness podcasts, almost always on one subject: what your hormones do to your mouth, and what your mouth does to the rest of you.
Unhurried, and Genuinely Curious About You
Patients describe the same thing again and again: an appointment that did not feel rushed, and a dentist who asked questions no one had asked before.
Her first visits run ninety minutes because that is how long it takes to understand a person’s hormones, nutrition, sleep, and history before forming an opinion about their teeth.
She would rather know why something is happening than simply repair it again next year.

Loved by Beverly Hills
“Dr. Leedia and Dr. Rashad are on another level of dentistry. From InBody assessments to CT scans to nutrition, they take into consideration you as a whole.”
“I finally understand what holistic dental care actually means. They treat you like a person, not a chart, and care about your whole health, not just your teeth.”
“As a dentist myself, I’m extremely selective about who works on my teeth. Their approach goes far beyond fixing teeth.”
Chadnie’s Story
Both her children see Dr. Leedia. What she values most is being taught how to ask better questions, then being supported in whatever she decides.
