Aura Dental and Wellness
Aura Dental and Wellness is a biological and rehabilitative dental practice at 303 Banyan Boulevard, Suite 203 in West Palm Beach, FL, cofounded by Dr. Monica Atallah-Khawand, DDS and led alongside Dr. Joseph Khawand, MS, DDS. The practice works to find the cause behind broken teeth, TMJ and jaw pain, grinding, airway and sleep issues, gum recession, failing dental work and concerns about dental materials, rather than repeating repairs on the same teeth. Services include biologic dentistry with metal-free restorations, ozone therapy and SMART protocol amalgam removal, TMJ, airway and sleep apnea care, dental implants including ceramic implants, esthetic and rehabilitative dentistry with conservative veneers and crowns, myofunctional therapy, full mouth reconstruction, and gentle general dentistry for all ages with routine cleanings and comprehensive exams. Physiologic diagnostics run from a comprehensive clinical examination through 3D CBCT imaging, BioPak and EMG neuromuscular analysis, TENS therapy and custom orthotic fabrication and adjustment. Dr. Monica graduated from Howard University and trained in Biodentistry 3.0 with Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, while Dr. Joseph trained at the Las Vegas Institute and the Misch Implant Institute. Aura is an out-of-network provider for most insurance plans, files claims on the patient's behalf so the insurer reimburses the patient directly, offers the Aura Wellness Membership Plan for patients who prefer an alternative to insurance, and has partnered with Cherry for financing with no hard credit check.

What makes biologic dentistry different from a conventional dental office?

Aura examines the systemic implications of dental treatment, prioritizes patient safety through material testing and evidence-based protocols, and collaborates with medical professionals so care supports the body's natural healing capacity.
Do you accept dental insurance?
Aura Dental and Wellness is an out-of-network provider for most insurance plans, but patients can still use their dental benefits. The team files claims electronically on the patient's behalf and the insurance company reimburses the patient directly for covered services, often within one to three weeks, and a detailed estimate is provided before any treatment begins. Call (561) 299-5852 with questions about a specific plan.

The practice has also partnered with Cherry to offer financing with no hard credit check.
Do you remove mercury amalgam fillings safely?
Yes. Aura follows the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, known as the SMART protocol, which the practice describes as the international gold standard for mercury filling removal. The protocol uses specialized high-volume evacuation systems, rubber dam isolation, supplemental oxygen delivery and air filtration to minimize mercury vapor exposure for both patients and clinical staff.
Can you help with TMJ pain, headaches or sleep apnea?
Yes. Aura provides physiologic diagnostics and treatment for jaw pain, clicking or popping, chronic headaches, neck tension, limited jaw mobility and sleep-related breathing problems. The process moves from a comprehensive clinical examination through 3D CBCT imaging, BioPak and EMG neuromuscular analysis, TENS therapy and custom orthotic fabrication, and the team collaborates with sleep medicine physicians on oral appliance therapy for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
