Eco-Friendly Office Green Dental Office
Dr. Charles Botbol and Associates runs an eco-friendly office. Here are some of the ways we are staying “green”:
- We always use digital processes where available, eliminating the use of paper and therefore saving our precious trees!
- Our X-Rays are all digital, meaning there is no need for harmful chemicals in the development of our images…in fact there is no development needed at all! Our images are instant! And our digital X-Rays use up to 90% less radiation than standard ones. Click here to learn more.
- Our office has been mercury-free for years. In fact, Dr. Botbol has not placed a mercury filling in 12 years! Instead of mercury, we use bio-compatible materials in all our dental procedures. And when disposing of old black mercury fillings, we use a special filtration system that prevents contamination of our water system.
- We clean our office using only environmentally-safe cleaning methods and products which are quick, clean and green!
At Dr. Charles Botbol & Associates, we believe in reducing waste and lessening our impact on the environment, both at work as well as at home. We need to think of our childrens’ future! There are many different ways we can make a difference, and we have started the process of becoming a "paperless" office. This means that all of our existing patient's charts will systematically be digitized and all new records will be digitally recorded. This was also an excellent opportunity for us to change over to digital photos and x-rays. Although we had changed to high-speed x-ray films in the past in order to significantly reduce our patient's exposure to radiation, digital x-rays convey an even lower dosage, not to mention that they eliminate the use of toxic developing chemicals and produce much less plastic waste of the films themselves. Aside from these ecological benefits, we can easily send our patient's x-rays to other specialist's offices and insurance companies through a secure data transfer system, reducing paper waste and saving time. Be assured that all of your personal information is kept secure by us, as it always has been in the past. If you, too, would like to help lessen our paper use, notify us so that you can be contacted via email for appointments or confirmations.
GO GREEN !!!!!! |

Cosmetic Dentistry in Toronto has come a long way in the past 10 years, dental fillings and other tooth restorations were originally made of gold, silver or some other metal, which were then veneered with porcelain to hide the filling. With technological advances in cosmetic dentistry in Toronto most dental work can be made entirely of porcelain or composite materials that more closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth structure. The teeth colored materials are bonded with resin adhesives to the underlying tooth structure. Unlike silver fillings (a.k.a. amalgams) they are entirely free of mercury. Many dentists in Toronto offer these procedures to be cosmetic because their patients prefer natural looking teeth.

Another innovation of the Cosmetic Dentist is the invention of teeth whitening or teeth bleaching and is now the most common Cosmetic Dental procedure. While many do it yourself whitening options are now available on the market, dentist-supervised treatments remain the recommended procedure for lightening discolored teeth and give you the best results for your money.

Dental bridges or false teeth are known as a pontics, which are fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by missing teeth. The two crowns holding it in place are then attached to your teeth on each side of the false tooth; this is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges are permanent and cannot be taken out of your mouth as you can do with removable partial dentures. Bridges can reduce the risk of getting gum disease, help correct some bite issues and even improve your speech. Bridges require your commitment to serious oral hygiene, but will last as long as ten years or more.
