Green DentistryROOT & RESTORE
Why Green Dentistry · Alexandria, VA
Most dental visits look at your teeth. We look at you. At Green Dentistry, Dr. Hye Park practices holistic, biological dentistry that connects your mouth to the rest of your health, using safer materials, gentler technology, and an unhurried approach designed around how you actually feel.
The Whole-Body Difference
Your mouth is not separate from the rest of your body. It is the front door. What we put in it, and what we leave out of it, ripples through everything else, from how you sleep to how you heal.
That is the heart of biological dentistry. Instead of patching a problem and sending you on your way, Dr. Park looks for what is causing it in the first place. The goal is care that lasts, not another temporary fix.
You should never feel rushed or talked over. Here, you get time to ask questions, understand your options, and make choices that feel right for your body and your life.

Leaders in Holistic Care
Dr. Hye Park, DMD, has spent more than a decade building a practice around root-cause, whole-body dentistry. Patients describe her as a "walking holistic dental encyclopedia," and they drive from across Northern Virginia to see her.
Her training reflects that commitment. She is a certified SMART provider through the IAOMT for safe mercury removal, a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, and a member of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine.
She has also been recognized as a Washingtonian "Best Dentist" 2025 nominee. More than the credentials, patients notice the warmth: thorough, gentle, and genuinely invested in their health.

What Makes Us Different
Holistic care is not one feature. It is a whole way of practicing, and it shows up in the materials we choose, the tools we use, and the way a visit feels from the moment you walk in.
Whole-body dentistry with certified SMART mercury removal, ozone, and a focus on prevention over chemicals.
We favor strong, natural-looking, metal-free materials chosen to work with your body, not against it.
3D imaging, digital scanning, microscopic bacteria evaluation, and laser therapy make care more precise and comfortable.
Digital x-rays, advanced air filtration, and water-saving systems mean care that is gentler on you and the planet.
Massage chairs, warm blankets, sedation options, and an unhurried pace built around easing dental anxiety.
Thoughtful holistic dentistry for adults and children, from cleanings and cosmetics to airway and restorative care.
Safer Materials
Many people come to us wondering what is actually in their mouth, and whether it belongs there. We share that thoughtfulness. We favor biocompatible, metal-free materials selected to reduce the risk of unwanted reactions.
If you have old silver fillings, Dr. Park removes them using the IAOMT's SMART protocol, with isolation, filtration, and extra protection designed to limit mercury vapor exposure during the process. For missing teeth, we offer metal-free ceramic implants.
The result is care that supports a beautiful, natural-looking smile you can feel good about, inside and out.

Advanced, Gentle Technology
The right technology does not make dentistry feel colder. Used well, it makes it gentler. We invest in tools that help us see more clearly, treat more conservatively, and keep you comfortable along the way.
That includes iTero digital scanning for impressions without the goop, CBCT 3D imaging for a fuller picture of your health, a dental microscope for microscopic bacteria evaluation, and Fotona laser therapy, including NightLase for airway and sleep support.
Saliva-based oral DNA testing and medical-grade ozone round out a toolkit designed around precision, comfort, and whole-body wellness.

Truly Green
The name is not just a name. Caring for your health and caring for the environment come from the same place, so we built sustainability into how the office runs day to day.
Digital x-rays mean less radiation and no chemical developer. Amalgam separators keep mercury out of the water supply. A multi-stage air filtration system helps keep the air clean, and a dry-air vacuum saves thousands of gallons of water compared with a conventional office.
You get high-quality, modern care without the environmental cost. For a lot of our patients, that peace of mind matters.
In Their Own Words
A few of the things patients share on Google. Every experience is unique, and these reflect individual visits rather than a promise of specific results.
"I found Dr. Park at Green Dental. We came to get an airway assessment, we left feeling like we finally found the answers we were looking for. The doctor amazed us, she is a 'walking holistic dental encyclopedia.'"
"This is the best dentist I've ever had. They use a truly integrative approach to dentistry. They helped me identify the systemic issues and underlying causes of the dental challenges."
"Dr. Park and her staff took great care to make sure I was protected properly during the removal of my old mercury amalgam. They are so professional and detail. I do not experience any sensitivity later."
"They use safe dental materials and there is a big focus on prevention and no chemicals, which I love. They also do the oral microbiome testing which is taking dentistry to a new level."
"I gladly drive an hour to Green Dental because the care I receive from Dr. Park is truly exceptional! Her compassion, expertise, and dedication make every visit an outstanding experience."
"It was Dr. Park who first identified my airway as the cause of symptoms I wouldn't have normally associated with my mouth. I received an oral appliance, which improved my sleep and reduced my jaw and neck tension."
Where to Begin
The best way to understand the Green Dentistry difference is to experience it. Your first visit is a comprehensive new patient exam, where we get to know your whole health story, not just your teeth.
Depending on what makes sense for you, that can include 3D imaging, an airway assessment, an oral cancer screening, microscopic bacteria evaluation, and saliva-based testing. Most of all, it includes time to talk through what we find and what your options are.
From there, Dr. Park builds a plan around your goals and your body, at a pace that feels right to you.
