Green Dentistry
As an eco friendly and patient centered dental practice their goal is to help you maintain and improve your oral health. They believe that caring for your teeth is one of the most important factors in promoting good health. To achieve this they work with you to design a long-term dental care plan based on your personal needs. Their practice is well equipped with the latest in dental technology to effectively help develop a personalized treatment plan. Green dentistry pioneer, Dr. Nammy Patel is the first dentist to make a serious commitment to green sustainable business practices in San Francisco. Dr. Patel takes a unique approach to combine dentistry and conserve the environment, using non toxic products, reducing waste and being minimally invasive.
Dr. Nammy conducts research and development to set standards in Green Dentistry and serves as a Enviro-mentor for the San Francisco Environment Agency to help small business become green. In their preventative care, they use the DIAGNOdent laser light technology to help detect tooth decay earlier than conventional methods. Using a defined wavelength the laser can find 50% of the decay that goes undetected by present diagnostic methods without any x-ray exposure. They also strive to eliminate the most uncomfortable elements of dentistry the shot, the drill and annoying numbness! Using Waterlase technology, laser-energized water droplets gently wash away decay and provide pinpoint accuracy, reducing the chance of causing damage to healthy tissue. They use this system for all decay removal, cavity preparation, smile design, general soft tissue procedures and general dentistry for enamel and dentin.
