Green Dentistry

Green dentistry is good for the planet, our patients, and our dental practice.

We use energy efficient, compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) lights throughout our dental practice.

According to the EDA, the average dental practice can save more than €450 a year by converting to high-efficiency fluorescents.

Paper recycling is the process of recovering waste paper and remaking it into new paper products.

Digital x-rays offer 70-90% less radiation than the traditional ones while reducing waste. We help keep more than 4.8 million lead foils and 28 million liter of toxic x-ray fixer solutions out of the environment. Digital patient charting also eliminates paper waste, and saves us time and money. X-ray
