Welcome to Calvert Smiles! Our friendly and experienced dentists and team are dedicated to helping you improve your oral and overall health with individualized holistic dental treatments. We focus on whole-body wellness, providing care designed to give you a healthier and more beautiful smile as well as an improved quality of life. When you visit our office, you can expect us to take the time to get to know you and help you feel at ease before providing you with treatments tailored to your unique oral health needs.
We are also a green dental office, maintaining an eco-friendly practice philosophy to minimize our impact on the environment and ensure that every aspect of your care is wellness-based and will promote your health.
Green dentistry is a broad topic which includes our patients wellbeing as well as the environmentally friendly products and practices implemented in our office. The Eco Dentistry Association defines a green dental practice as a dental office which:
By using eco-friendly, non-toxic products we can benefit the environment as well as your health. We do this by using only non-toxic materials in your treatments, and by using eco-friendly and non-toxic disinfectants to keep our office and equipment clean. We also make every effort to eliminate unnecessary waste by using alternatives to plastic materials and recycling any paper or plastics that we do use. Additionally, we are careful with our use of important resources such as water.
Dental offices also use significant amounts of water. In fact, the average dental office may use as much as 57,000 gallons of water each year. At Calvert Smiles, we use a special dry vacuum system to reduce the amount of water we use.
