High Standards & Dental Materials

A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve.  We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health.  Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.

The government of Norway banned the use of mercury in products and most uses of dental amalgam. The ban is valid from Jan. 1, 2008.

"The justification for the ban in Norway is the risk that mercury from products may constitute when in the environment," the ministry said in a press release accompanied by a policy statement amending regulations that restrict "the use of chemicals and other products hazardous to health and the environment."

Newport Healthy Smiles also do not use any MERCURY in our office.  Our mercury FREE office provide only the high standard composite (white color filling) as an alternative to amalgam(silver mercury) filling.

We also closely monitor the Bisphenol A in composite dental fillings.  For American Dental Association (ADA) Statement and position on "Bisphenol A" and Dental Sealants, Composite Dental Fillings CLICK HERE

We only use distilled water in all our dental water supply to eliminate any Biofilm or bacteria buildup in any city piping.  Because the city tap water only meets the EPA drinking water standard (no more than 500 colony-forming units (CFU) of heterotrophic bacteria per milliliter(mL) of water, but our office standard has Zero tolerance, nothing but distilled water only.

Our office use one of the best dental lab in United States with Certification of Dental Laboratories (CDL), which is also above and beyond the OSHA & CDL requirement and absolutely Lead FREE.  Therefore patients do not have to worry about lead contamination and our lab do not outsource work to another country.

Qualifying dental laboratories were eligible to apply for certification from the National Board for Certification of Dental Laboratories (CDL), which had established specific standards for "personnel skills, laboratory facilities, and infection control in dental laboratories." According to the CDL, certification was potentially "invaluable in establishing credibility with outside third parties, including courts of law, insurance companies, and government." To receive certification, a laboratory is required to employ certified dental technicians in supervisory positions, document facility compliance with accepted health and safety standards, and maintain high levels of training and practice in infection control.

Education & Prevention

As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health.  We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”.  That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary.  We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease.  Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health.  A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

Uncompromising Safety

Infection control in our office is also very important to us.  To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Training & Expertise

As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians.  We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy.  To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning.  We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care.  Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success.  We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience.  Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
