Complementary Treatments
Most dental patients also benefit in including Functional Medical Protocols that upregulate their immune system response and enhance healing, remove heavy metals from their system and optimize the oral and gut microbiome hence utilizing the protective function of the mouth saliva and improving overall health.

IV Nutritional Drips
IV drips are offered as separate treatments or as complements for heavy metal detoxification or oral and gut biome optimization protocols. Post-operative cases also benefit from the immune boost and dramatically improved nutritional status that intravenous administration of essential vitamins and mineral offers.

NAD+ IV
Intravenous NAD+ is rapidly becoming the most robust tool to help revitalize our cells, replenish our energy reserves and create brain rejuvenation. It is called the molecule of youth because it stimulates a family of anti-aging proteins called sirtuins. NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) a Vitamin B3 derivative has been successfully utilized for many years in intravenous protocols to help people with addictions and alcoholism. 

After 36 years of practicing dentistry and dentoalveolar surgery Dr Munclinger has come to appreciate that, besides treating the immediate dental issues, she needs to address the holistic health of the client and up-regulate their immune functioning and provide detoxification plans in order to create a lasting change.​ She has been devoted to holistic dental approach for the past 20 years.

We can diagnose the pathology of gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small intestine and colon) from picture of oral mucosa including cancerous lesions. One of the most complex and dangerous bacterias have got their source in the mouth.

Prof Josef Kautzner, the leading cardiologist and president of European Cardiac society, is claiming that undiscovered and untreated oral infection is very often a cause of death after cardiac surgical procedure. Bacteria causing not only soft tissue infection in the mouth, but spreading with blood stream into all vital organs in the body causing general septicemia. This lethal infection is not responding to even IV (intravenous) most advanced antibiotic therapy.

Infection in the mouth can be related to one nonvital tooth. Patient can be completely atraumatic. Thorough Dental check up is mandatory before any cardiac, general or orthopedic operation. Regular dental check up is also extremely important during pregnancy.

She has recently visited practice of Dr Craig Koniver, MD in South Carolina and adopted his approach to functional medicine and performance protocols. Dr Koniver seeks to help his clients optimize their health and performance through time-tested, nutrient and science driven regimes that are the cutting-edge of medicine with huge success over past 20 years.​

At Shangri-la Longevity we analyze and diagnose exactly what is going on in the cells and tissues of your body, using various diagnostic techniques from blood test, DNA analysis and oligoscan testing to design a protocol to maximize your health and performance. On the basis of the results we suggest a combination of dietary changes, IV and oral supplementation, petite regiments and hormonal optimization strategies to achieve your desired results.

From up-regulating your immune function, restoring thyroid and testosterone levels, improving your nutrition, gut health and probiotic status, rebuilding neural network depreciated through addictions, stress and substance abuse, offering supplements to dramatically reduce inflammation and oxidative stress; we offer protocols that can assist to help you feel amazing (again).

This is an amazing place!!! I never knew l could get cutting edge therapies like NAD+ IV’s in South Africa. Dr Munclinger amazing, so empathetic and the best Dentist I have ever been to. I would most certainly recommend her to anyone who needs Dental treatment. – Stephanie Jason

Excellent and thoroughly professional job by the dentist and the team. – Peter Smith

The practice is very welcoming and the dentist is very professional and knowledgeable. I will go back there again – Pamela Nicolas

My husband and I have been going to Dr Munclinger for the last 10 years to have our teeth work done. I can assure you that this practice is a place of excellence. If you are looking for someone who will go the extra mile with your teeth you have arrived. Look no further.

Dr. Maria’s work is thorough, gentle, and profound. She takes photographs of every tooth and every job she does, and only takes x-rays if necessary. If you are health conscious and do not want to use medication, speak to her about alternative options, she has helped us in many alternative ways. I have now had 8 amalgum fillings replaced over a couple of years. She has saved my husband’s life; where the op took about 6 hours to restore his situation. We are very thankful and pleased with the work she has done for the both of us.

She has only given us years of excellent service and if it was not for the extra care she has taken with one of my teeth especially which I almost lost, I would have lost the tooth. I have now had this specific tooth under her care for over 5 years and it is still in tact without any problems. I am really impressed and would highly recommend her work to you. She is highly qualified, I know she has given lectures at universities in Praag at times and assist upcoming students.

Dr. Maria has a very kind and loving nature, very focused on her client’s and the work that needs to be done. A true workaholic and someone who listen’s very well, always goes out of her way to help your teeth stay in the best state it possibly can. Above all she also gives instructions on how to care for your teeth when following special dietary requirements, we are vegan and follow a fruit-based diet where Dr. has made many recommendations for us which has worked for us. Dr. has also given us relief in terms of our account settlement.

It is worth mentioning her practice is exceptionally clean and works with clean protocols. I just came back from my last check-in during the Covid-19 pandemic and I can assure you that only the strictest measures are taken to care for her patients at all times. She has an excellent assistant who is in my opinion very knowledgeable and helpful and the both of them make an excellent team. They always make the trip to the dentist less fearful. I know when I am on the chair I am in the best hands.

Finding a proper holistic dentist such as Dr. Maria is far and few in between. Again, I highly recommend her work. She is very legit and commendable. If you are afraid, I would meet her first, let her have a check-up and then decide for yourself and take it from there. I would also take any nasty comments left down below with a pinch of salt.

Thank you Dr. Maria and team for all you have done for myself and my husband over the last decade.

Will keep supporting you. – Julie Groenewald
