Eco Friendly Dentist
Dr. Hye Y. Park of Green Dental of Alexandria is an eco friendly dentist you can trust to provide comprehensive oral care for your entire family. Our office is committed to your safety and to preserving resources and protecting the environment. As a part of this commitment, we have invested in a number of eco friendly systems including a dry vacuum system, digital x-rays, a dental laser, green dental imaging, an air and water purification system and a green infection control system. For your safety, we do not offer any dental restorations containing mercury and we use amalgam separators and chair-side filters to facilitate the safe removal of old amalgam fillings.
Eco – Friendly Practice
Our team is dedicated to maintaining an environmentally-friendly practice with rigorous infection control as follows:
- DIGITAL DENTISTRY ELIMINATES CHEMICAL WASTE: Green Dental uses only digital x-rays which greatly reduce radiation exposure for patients and eliminate the need for chemical x-ray developers which harm the environment.
- AMALGAM SEPARATORS PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: An amalgam separator is a device which captures toxic particles after removal of an amalgam filling to prevent those particles from entering the community sewage system.
- 6-STAGE SURGICALLY CLEAN AIR FILTRATION PROCESS: We have an advanced air filtration system which, through a six-stage process, filters out viruses, bacteria, fungi and other harmful particles as small as 1/100th of a micron in diameter.
- BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH: Our use of biocompatible materials reduces the risk of an inflammatory reaction in patients.
- PURIFIED WATER SYSTEM: Our sophisticated water purification system removes harmful components from the water used in your dental work.
- ADDITIONAL STEPS TO PROTECT YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT: We use an oilless compressor which won’t release hazardous pollutants into the air like oil compressors do. We also use eco-friendly disinfectants which don’t leave toxic build-up on surfaces or irritate the skin, eyes or respiratory system. And our dry-air dental vacuum saves nearly 5,500 gallons of water per day.
