The Green Dentistry Difference
Frequently Asked Questions
As a holistic dentist, I consider your entire physical and emotional health when preventing, diagnosing, and treating tooth and gum issues. I want to help you be healthy and have a smile you love. My office is a comfortable environment where we provide dental care that is beautiful, functional, and designed to last for years. We are also respectful of your time and use advanced dental technologies that are less invasive and require less follow-up care than many traditional treatments.
When you visit Green Dentistry, we will:
- Build a partnership based on your specific health needs
- Educate and empower you to participate in your dental care plan
- Help you achieve healthy teeth and gums for life!
At Green Dentistry, we use only safe, sterile, non-toxic, mercury-free/BPA-free, biocompatible & organic materials in your dental treatment and in our office environment.
Absolutely! Part of our philosophy as a holistic dental practice, and our approach to care, is creating a welcoming, judgement-free environment. No matter how long it’s been since you’ve seen a dentist, we are here to help you get the care you need.
Mercury is a toxin and should never be in your body, especially not in your mouth as part of a dental filling! As a holistic dentist and member of the International Academy of Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), Dr. Patel has studied the damage mercury and other toxins inflict upon the body. All of the materials she uses in dental treatments are non-toxic and fully biocompatible, and she is trained in the safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings.
Yes! We accept a variety of insurance plans. We also accept cash, credit cards, checks, and offer several financing options, including 24-month Care Credit, Lending Club and our own in-office savings plan. If you have questions about insurance, our front desk staff is happy to help you. They will work with you to check your benefits in advance.
Green Dentistry is a San Francisco dentist centrally located in Union Square, right in the heart of the city. Our office is just a short walk from the Powell Street BART station.
Your first appointment at our San Francisco dental office will take about an hour and a half. You’ll begin by completing our new patient paperwork, including a thorough health history, health questionnaire, and privacy policy. After your appointment starts, our experienced staff will ask you questions, get to know your oral hygiene routine, and listen to your health concerns.
We believe in educating patients and empowering them to improve their oral health. We’ll help you improve your home care routine, including tips on proper brushing and flossing technique. Next, a dental hygienist will clean your teeth. Finally, Dr. Patel will complete your examination and make recommendations for proposed dental treatments.
Absolutely! As a holistic dentist, we take pride in creating a relaxing, stress-free atmosphere that’s more like a spa than a traditional dental office. We offer aromatherapy, warm neck wraps, noise-cancelling headphones, and other spa-like amenities to help you relax. But the real difference is our caring team members who are committed to helping you truly enjoy your visit.
The difference is clear. Come see for yourself!
- Everyone, regardless of age or circumstance, deserves a healthy, beautiful, smile that will last a lifetime.
- Good oral hygiene is essential to overall health and well-being, not just a healthy mouth. The mouth is the gateway to the body, and taking care of it is an important part of staying healthy for life.
- Patients should feel empowered to express their desires as well as their concerns and make informed decisions about their dental care.
- Dental treatment is highly personal and should be customized to the individual patient’s unique needs, goals, and lifestyle.
At Green Dentistry, we are more than just your typical dental practice. We aspire to be a healthcare resource for our patients, helping them improve their quality of life from the inside out.
