Eco-Friendly Design Solutions of a DC Holistic Dentistry Practice


As a holistic dentistry practice in Washington, D.C., we have employed several eco-dentistry solutions in our office to provide a safe, environmentally friendly environment for our patients and our planet.

Eco-Dentists Use Safer Digital X-Rays 
Traditional X-rays can be dangerous to people and the environment due to their levels of radiation. Digital X-rays produce less radiation, less waste, and faster results to improve your dental treatment and heighten your safety.

The Importance of Amalgam Separators
Our office is equipped with amalgam separators, which we use when removing amalgam fillings. These separators work to dispose of mercury correctly and safely, while also keeping mercury and other harmful deposits out of the local water sources and landfills.

The Design of an Eco-Friendly Dentistry Office
There are many ways to use eco-friendly design solutions to create a healthy and efficient holistic dental office. We keep heating and cooling costs in our office down by using window film to keep UV light out while also using low-power light bulbs that use less energy than traditional bulbs. We even use low VOC paint on the walls to keep fumes and other toxic materials from penetrating our office. Our ceiling tiles are made of plastic bottles and our roof is designed to reduce storm water runoff improve insulation measures.
