About William C. Mcmillan, DMD
Having graduated with his dental degree from the College of Dental Medicine of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston in 1989, Dr. Carl McMillan’s primary focus for over 20 years has been on holistic dentistry. With the aim of building a brand around his primary focus, Dr. McMillan strives to practice general dentistry with a holistic perspective at his Holistic Dental Centers office. As a testament to his firm belief in practicing holistic dentistry, Dr. McMillan is the President of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), and a charter member of the International Academy of Mercury Free Dentists (IAMFD). These two academies are primarily composed of physicians, dentists and research scientists who are dedicated to practicing evidence-based health care. His belief that total body wellness starts in the mouth is the foundation of his practice. Dedicating himself to practicing dentistry according to the oath of ‘First, do no harm,’ Dr. McMillan ardently believes in providing his patients with dental care that improves their overall health. Dr.McMillan offers services such as Holistic Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Family Dentistry, Oral Sedation, Bridges, Veneers, Crowns and Teeth Whitening. Since he considers himself 99 percent educator and one percent dental mechanic, when a patient visits his office, he starts out with a comprehensive exam and discusses all health issues with the patient. As a strict discourager of the use of metal for dental treatments, when Dr. McMillan sees a problem in his patients, he strives to fix it without causing any harm to the body. He always challenges himself to find an answer to the issue by finding a way that is not harmful to the overall health of the patient. Introducing himself as Carl, he gets to know his patients on a personal level by leaning back and getting to know about them and their families. Even though a majority of his patients are holistic patients, a majority of his non-holistic patients also decide to stay because of the way he treats them. He gives his cell number to all his patients and they can contact him at anytime about any issue. Always keeping his patients in the driver’s seat, he never performs any procedure without educating them about why it should be done and what relationships it has with their overall health. When he’s not working or reading, he can be found with his wife and four children, either playing or coaching sports like baseball, basketball, football, and soccer. A huge lover of outdoor activities, he frequently water skis, snow skis, cycles, and runs short distance races. He believes that diet, exercise and mental or spiritual activity are vital contributory factors to solid and total health.
