Lakewood Dental Earns Green Mark Certification as a Sustainable Dental Practice in Carshalton
At Lakewood Dental, we’re proud to announce that our practice has been awarded the Green Mark certification, a respected sustainability standard supported by Sutton Council. This milestone recognises our efforts to become a more environmentally responsible and eco-friendly dental practice in Carshalton.
This achievement reflects our values of providing exceptional dental care while also protecting the environment. We’ve taken real, measurable steps to reduce our carbon footprint, energy usage, and waste—all without compromising on patient experience or clinical standards.
What is the Green Mark Certification?
Green Mark is an independent sustainability accreditation that helps organisations reduce their environmental impact. Achieving Green Mark means we’ve met strict criteria in energy management, resource efficiency, and sustainable business operations.
Being certified shows that we’re a forward-thinking practice that cares about more than just teeth—we care about our local community in Sutton and the planet too.
Sustainable Changes at Lakewood Dental
To meet the Green Mark standards, we implemented a number of sustainable initiatives within our practice:
Lowered energy consumption by installing LED lighting and reviewing our energy use.
Introduced digital workflows to cut down on paper use—like online forms and appointment reminders.
Switched to eco-conscious dental supplies, including biodegradable rinse cups and recyclable packaging.
Improved waste segregation and recycling protocols across the team.
Sourced local and sustainable suppliers wherever possible.
These changes not only reduce our environmental impact but also help us operate more efficiently as a team.
Why Sustainable Dentistry Matters
As a growing number of patients seek environmentally conscious healthcare providers, we’re proud to stand out as a sustainable dentist in Carshalton. Sustainable dentistry isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessary evolution in how dental practices operate.
By achieving the Green Mark, we’re helping shape a greener future for dentistry, one step at a time. Our commitment to eco-friendly practices aligns with our mission to offer modern, compassionate, and responsible care to all of our patients.
