Eco-Friendly Dentistry: East Lansing Modern Dental’s Commitment to Sustainability

Eco-Friendly Dental Care at East Lansing Modern Dental

At East Lansing Modern Dental, we believe in delivering care that’s compassionate, effective, and kind to the planet. For that reason, we proudly use eco-friendly technologies—like CBCT scanners, digital X-rays, and perio lasers—to reduce our environmental impact while still providing exceptional care.


Sustainable Technologies We Use

We’ve embraced modern dental tools that support both patient wellness and environmental sustainability. Let’s take a closer look at how each one contributes:

Perio Laser

This advanced laser treats gum disease by removing infected tissue and helping healthy tissue reattach. As a result, it eliminates the need for traditional surgery and reduces waste from surgical materials.

Digital X-Rays

Compared to older methods, digital X-rays provide a clearer view of your teeth while using 90% less radiation. Moreover, they eliminate the need for chemical film processing, which makes the process safer for you and better for the environment.

CBCT Scanner

Our CBCT scanner produces detailed 3D images of your teeth and jaw with reduced radiation exposure. In addition, it removes the need for traditional, messy impressions by creating virtual models for restorations and orthodontics.


Why Sustainability in Dentistry Matters

We aim to protect your oral health and care for the environment at the same time. Every visit to our office reflects this commitment. Here’s how our eco-conscious efforts benefit you:

Reduced Exposure to Harmful Chemicals

Because we’ve eliminated many chemical-based processes, there’s less risk of contact with harmful substances. This not only benefits you, but it also keeps our workplace safer for everyone.

Lower Radiation Levels

Our digital imaging tools significantly reduce radiation exposure. Consequently, your routine checkups are safer—especially over the long term.

Faster, More Accurate Diagnoses

Thanks to enhanced imaging, we can identify issues early. Therefore, we’re able to plan treatments faster and with greater accuracy.

Less Invasive Treatments

Laser therapy allows us to treat gum issues gently. In many cases, this means you can avoid more complex treatments down the road.

Community & Environmental Well-Being

Ultimately, we care about more than just smiles. Our commitment to green practices helps protect our patients, our staff, and the world we all share.
