Your Green Dentist in San Rafael
You might not think the average dental practice produces much waste, until you consider the volume of water used during treatments, the dozens of latex gloves needed for sanitary purposes, and the large amount of hazardous materials from toxic metals and X-ray developing solution. Looking more closely, it’s easy to see that traditional dentistry is not the most eco-friendly business. That’s why our staff at Dr. Creaghe‘s practice in San Rafael, CA is concerned with these issues, and why we are taking the important steps needed to make our practice as environmentally friendly and green as possible. Dr. Creaghe has instituted an aggressive recycling plan for all office materials that cannot be reused. We have switched to steam for instrument sterilization to avoid the use of chemicals, and to help prevent contamination, we provide for the proper disposal of toxic metals such as mercury-based amalgam fillings. Dr. Creaghe’s eco-friendly approach puts him at the forefront of the green revolution of the dental industry. If you are concerned with environmental issues, show your support for advancing the green cause by contacting our office. Dr. Creaghe and his staff will be pleased to attend to all your dental needs in our environmentally-healthy office.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry
Minimally invasive dentistry is the practice of providing treatment that maintains and improves the oral health of a patient while avoiding unnecessary or complicated procedures. This is important because although many dentists have the best intentions, they can forget about the most important thing—the goals and needs of the patient. Most patients correctly feel that the best solution is often the simplest, and Dr. Creaghe agrees. For example, if you are experiencing tooth decay he will remove the damaged material and work to save the natural tooth instead of extracting and replacing. Or, if you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, he can place and color just a single or very few veneers to blend naturally with your smile, avoiding a complete makeover. When receiving dental treatment from Dr. Creaghe you can be assured that he will always keep the procedures as simple and minimally invasive as possible, because he knows that this is best for you. Being a strong proponent for this philosophy of dentistry is just one of the reasons why Dr. Creaghe is an excellent choice to provide all your dental needs in San Rafael, CA.

| I don’t know about other dentists, but a member in my social network recommended this excellent Los Angeles dentist, http://www.estheticdentistry.net/. I did try them and guess what, he did a great job with my dental implants. http://www.estheticdentistry.net/cosmetic-dentistry.html | ||
