Oldest dentist's office in Delray Beach is tech savvy and green
Spodak Dental Group's Craig Spodak DMD, PA and Myles S. Spodak DDS, PA, plan to rebuild their 32-year dentistry, the oldest dentistry in Delray Beach, into the first building in Delray Beach to possess the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED certification.
Spodak Dental Group has already began their own green movement in dentistry by taking pride in a paperless office.
"We don't use paper, don't use carbons and certain chemicals. We do use ultraviolet sterilization of our air system and energy-saving lighting," Craig Spodak said.
At Spodak Dental Group the amenities are far past state of the art. As a patient sits in the dentist chair Craig Spodak displays the patient's tooth display on a 30-inch video monitor. If the patient needs a filling or any dental replacement, the design, production and implementation are done on-site thanks to two employees working a ceramic lab on the premises. A oral surgeon, anesthesiologist and medical doctor also work daily shifts at the dentistry.
"We have a ceramic lab which makes it easy to do porcelain covers, or make our own teeth on-site. There's no need for us to send people to a specialist... Here we can do it the same day," Craig Spodak said.
