Eco-Dentistry is a form of dentistry that strives to give patients the highest level of care in a manner that also protects our environment as much as possible. Eco-Dentistry benefits the environment, the dental practice and even the health of the patient.
An EcoCertified Dentist must undergo multiple inspections every year to receive their certification. Dr. Subramanian has consistently passed these inspections for over five years, showing a lasting commitment to practicing effective green dentistry.
Green dentistry makes use of technology and innovative practices to provide dental services that have the smallest impact on the environment possible. A dentist who regularly practices green dentistry will save water and energy, reduce pollution and minimize waste. These will all result in an overall smaller carbon footprint left by the practice.
Green dentistry benefits the patient as well. For example, we steam clean our dental instruments in an autoclave. The alternative would be to clean them with harsh chemicals that would bring with them a negative ecological impact. Not only does steam cleaning prevent these chemicals from harming the environment, but it also prevents patients from being exposed to them. We also perform X-rays via digital imaging, which drastically reduces the patients exposure to radiation.
When you visit an EcoCertified dentist like Latha Subramanian, DDS, you can rest assured that you are receiving your dental care from someone who has gone to great lengths to practice safe, eco-friendly, green dentistry. Contact our office in Mountain View, CA to see the benefits of Eco-Dentistry for yourself!
This means that our practice has pledged to take the extra steps necessary to re-think every aspect of our business and to ensure we are a part of the solution, and a leader in helping transform the dental industry. Our goal is to assist each of our patients in achieving and maintaining their long term dental health and beautiful smile, while doing our part to make sure our practices are as Earth-friendly as possible.

I came to Dr. Latha due to an emergency and have been her patient for the past three years. She is very professional, thorough, gentle and patient, and she explains in details what's going to happen before every treatment. Recently, she has fixed for me a front tooth that has broken years ago and the result is so esthetic, it looks like the tooth has never even been broken :)

Its really something to smile about when you find the right dentist who understands your every fear and has the gentlest hands. I have been a patient of Dr Latha's for about 7-8 years now and every time am blown away by her expertise and constant skills update.The office is MODERN and she has all the tech gadgets one would need,super convenient to make an appt with texts and emails.Yes they take care of you're insurance, make everything easy, give you blankets and chapsticks and fuss over you.But my reason for going here is the honest and sincere care I receive. I trust the work immensely. Have had several gum issues and used to have terrible TMJ pain.Now I have finally gotten my gums better with her laser treatments and wear my night guard and my TMJ and me at my happiest.Love to be pain free and have faith that my teeth and gums are in the best care and no more dental nightmares.

I have been happy with all of her work. She also keeps up with the latest research in her spare time, unlike many doctors who stop learning after they are done with school.

Worst experience of my life, created permanent damage by removing half my tooth without letting me know before. 7 numbing injections in 3.5 hr for a pin size cavity. 5 years later I still fell pain.

I chipped my front tooth years ago and had it fixed twice by another dentist. Dr. Latha fixed my front tooth by using a "Laser" so the filling really stuck and this made the difference. Very happy with the work and the "Laser" was quick, painless and effective. I would recommend Dr. Latha and her very professional staff to anyone for fast, thorough and painless dentistry. Thank you!

Excellent dentist who is skilled and also caring.Have been a patient over a decade now and would highly recommend her. Its important for dentists to be honest and ethical and I find that in Dr Latha-she is conservative in protecting my teeth and explains pros and cons of any treatment. My lower tooth was cracked and she was gentle in putting a partial cap on it and helped save it from a root canal.The office is welcoming and up to date and they communicate with text/emails and send me before/after pics also.I smile big and wide with nice teeth thanks to her.

Best cleaning ever! My hygienist Angela was thorough and caring to my sensitive areas. When Dr. Latha came in to check my teeth she made me feel comfortable and confident in her knowledge. I couldn't ask for a better dentist!!

My 12 years old had an emergency a Saturday evening in the middle of the covid crisis. Latha went far beyond anything we could expect and was able to find us an emergency endodontist that could take care of the problem 1AM, Latha came over and stayed with us all the time. We are so grateful and feel so lucky to have her as our kids doctor.
