  • DigitalDigital RadiographsSwitching to digital radiographs significantly reduces radiation exposure by up to 75%, making them safer for use. Digital radiographs are automatically processed to our computer screens using our sensors we do not use phosphor plates in order to minimize plastic waste used to cover the film. This also eliminates the use of chemical developer once used for analog radiographs. Digital radiographs are easier to read which aids in accurate diagnosis.Itero Element Intraoral ScannerNo more icky impression materials! Our Itero Element scanner has allowed us to eliminate the use of traditional impression materials for crowns, bridges, implant crowns, night guards, and even partial dentures. The Itero is a digital scanner that takes up to 6000 intraoral photos per second, then creates a 3D digital model. The scan is then sent to one of many local labs to fabricate an accurate, beautiful restoration. The Itero saves on time and the use of disposable materials and waste, while still being comfortable for patients.PaperWe have minimized paper in our clinic by switching to digital records. All of our paper products we use are made from recycled materials. Many of our referrals to specialists are now email or done online. We can even email paperwork and treatment plans to patients.PlasticIn order to minimize plastic waste, we have switched many of our products to glass, stainless steel, or ceramic. Any plastic we have is BPA-free.RecycleWe have paper and plastic recycling bins available throughout the clinic. Most paper and disposable products used in clinic are made from recycled materials.Cleaning and DisinfectionWe are switching our cleaning products to be bio-friendly, while still providing broad spectrum, hospital grade disinfection.EnergyMost of our equipment runs on energy saver modes. All clinic lighting is LED with a plan to add motion sensors to aid in conserving energy.

    I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Bilbeisi and her team! The entire process was comfortable, and painless (something I haven't experienced before) I loved the environment and the assurance of comfort while getting work done! Most definitely recommend!

    They did not do anything but gave me and my kids an exam. We never heard anything back and it's been months. Dr said that she will give my daughter a referral to another dentist and have not it's been almost 6 months. I've tried calling and Noone answers or called me back. I went by there on my lunch break and Noone there. Is this place shut down???

    So wonderful! It's very clean and inviting. I'm always greeted right away with a warm smile ( you can see it in the eyes)! My teeth look great now, and with very little pain! Love this place.

    It had been a while since visiting the dentist, but Dr. B and her staff were welcoming, non-judgmental and knowledgeable. Great experience getting in, having my teeth deep cleaned and getting all my questions and concerns answered!

    Regrettably, it had been awhile since I had gone to a dentist to get my teeth checked. I very anxiously went to Cedar Ridge and it was probably the best decision I could've made. Dr. Bilbeisi is very knowledgeable and made me feel really comfortable about the plan we put in place to make sure everything gets sorted out and taken care of. She had a great way of explaining everything making sure I understood what she was talking about. Special shout out to Tia! She helped with a deep clean and the experience was awesome. She made sure I was comfortable through the whole thing always checking with me before she proceeded and the entire clean was pain free. They have a lifelong patient in me.

    I regret going here. I thought a women ran office would be better than the old white men I had previously been to but I was wrong. Dr. Bilbeisi started scraping my teeth to the point of bleeding and did not stop when I had tears rolling down my face due to previous dental trauma. I stupidly decided to go back and allow her to fill 2 cavities but had to pry her hand out of my mouth to ask about the filling color since nothing was explained to me. Now here it is over 6 weeks later and both teeth still hurt to bite down on which is not normal. If you want to be treated with compassion I would not recommend this dentist though the rest of the office staff seemed great.

    I switched dentists to find someone who was being more careful with COVID protocols. Switching dentists is hard for me--I've been forced to switch before and ended up with a dud, but this was definitely a switch for the better. They are still wearing N95's to protect their patients (this is important for people at high risk or with limited or no immunity) and in addition to being very competent and professional, they are thorough, kind and attentive. I am delighted to have found them!

    Dr. Bilbeisi took such good care of me today! I haven't been to the dentist in a while so I was super anxious about going back. Her whole team made me feel comfortable and took their time to make sure I had a painless experience.

    I can say confidently that Dr. Bilbeisi is the best dentist I've ever had. I have some medical conditions that make dental work more complicated, and Dr. Bilbeisi was the first dentist I've had that listened to me, and found solutions to make me as comfortable as possible. She's is amazing as communicating so I always knew what was going on and what to expect. Visiting the dentist had always been such a source of anxiety for me, so finally finding a dentist I trust and who can make the visit as painless as possible is truly amazing. I would recommend Cedar Ridge to anyone who is looking for a dentist that will really listen to them. Especially anyone who, like me, local anesthetic doesn't usually work for!
