Green Initiative

Compassion for the Earth

We strive every day to reduce our impact on the environment. When first building our office, we made an extra effort to purchase equipment and supplies to minimize that impact.

Our digital X-Ray system eliminates the need for harmful chemicals and lead used in traditional X-Ray processing. We also use all digital charting. This means we don’t use the reams and reams of paper used by most offices to store patient information. We also use dry dental vacuums. This tool seems identical to our patients but uses up to 100 gallons of water less per day.

A simple thing like sending you an email or text message to remind you of an appointment reduces paper usage. All fillings in our office are tooth-colored which means no special disposal of mercury-containing amalgam.

We’re always looking to do more for our planet. If you have a suggestion, feel free to let us know.
