We're Going Green!
Dentistry is all about your overall health, and a healthy approach to dentistry is an important part of a healthy approach to life. At Asheville Dental Care, you can rest assured we're constantly on the move to make our office healthier, safer, and environmentally friendly for you, our patients.
As most of you know, we pride ourselves on:
- Sterilization Unit - We use the latest, state-of-the-art sterilization unit available on the market today.
- Mercury Free - We offer mercury free composites and ceramic restorations.
- Digital X-Rays - Ensure our patients receive minimal exposure to radiation - again the most up-to-date x-ray system available on the market today.
- No Hazardous Chemicals - With digital x-rays, no hazardous chemicals are needed as film is not developed to produce the x-ray.
- CEREC - Computerized designed restorations done in one visit saves you time, and with one visit you save on your automobile and gas usage.
- No Cross Contamination - CEREC restorations ensure no cross contamination from foreign countries as they are designed and produced right in our office. Many traditional crowns available on the market today are outsourced; being produced in countries such as China and India that are not subject to our health standards.
- Latest Technology - Heavy investment in the proper technology enables us to trap and dispose of silver-mercury fillings in an environmentally friendly way. This ensures we prevent the mercury from polluting our sewer systems and our streams. Although not required by law, for us the choice to make this investment was easy.
