Patient Safety

Sterilization:  We know that preventing the spread of infectious diseases such as AIDS, herpes, hepatitis and even the cold virus is critical. We follow all sterilization procedures and infection control guidelines recommended by the American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control.

We use barrier techniques such as disposable masks and gloves and replace them with every new patient. Each piece of fixed operatory equipment is wiped-down with antibacterial solution prior to every clinical procedure. Sterile water delivery and water purification systems are utilized. We use autoclave sterilization for all instruments prior to dental examination and treatment. You can be assured that our staff have been specifically trained on sterilization procedures and their importance.

Dental Unit Water Line Purification:  For your protection and health we are using DentaPure water purification cartridges on every dental unit.  Our dental unit water meets all applicable Federal and State Standards for dental unit water quality.  Our dental unit water also meets the recommendations of the American Dental Association for quality of dental unit waterline water.  Our water system purification technology has been used on all NASA manned space shuttle flights since 1976.

We adhere to the highest professional standards of cleanliness, sterilization, and radiation control. Additionally, our entire staff is CPR certified and trained in use of our on site Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
