Environmental Impact Statement

At Brook West, we think it’s only natural to preserve your smile while protecting the environment. Here are a few ways we align nature and science to provide eco-friendly dentistry:

• We utilize digital films rather than old-fashioned x-rays to reduce your exposure to radiation and eliminate the use of harmful developer and fixer chemicals.
• We reclaim and recycle potentially hazardous mercury from older amalgam fillings when they need to be replaced.
• We reclaim and recycle silver from older x-ray films before they are destroyed.
• We mainly use composite restoration materials instead of amalgam fillings to reduce the use of (and your exposure to) mercury based products.
• We take advantage of technology by using electronic charts and e-mail notifications to reduce our consumption of paper.
• We offer a latex-free environment to protect you from potentially serious latex allergies.
