Green Dentistry

Green dentistry at Faber Dental Arts – saving energy, reducing waste and making your dental visit more convenient.

Our green dentistry initiatives are not only better for the environment; they can make seeing the dentist a nicer experience for you.

• Faber Dental Arts’ beautiful Shorewood dental office is energy efficient, featuring high efficiency insulation, low energy light bulbs, and other measures to reduce energy consumption.
• We will soon be an entirely paperless office – reducing paper waste and making your dental care more convenient, with electronic insurance claim submission, online forms for new patients and electronic sign-in.

We are committed to environmentally friendly dental practices. Our office features:

• Waterless vacuum system to limit water waste during dental cleanings and treatments.
• Amalgam separator - When removing or placing metal fillings, our amalgam separator reduces the amount of mercury waste that can otherwise end up in the sewer system.
• Digital X-rays – Better for you and the environment, digital X-rays require no toxic chemicals to develop film and no supplies that contain lead like conventional X-rays.

Faber Dental Arts will incorporate environmentally friendly practices whenever possible, while maintaining the highest possible standards for you, our valued patient. If you have any questions or comments about green dentistry and our environmental practices, please call to talk with one of our Faber Dental Arts team members.
