Dental Safety

Concerned about dental safety? We're committed to ensuring the safety of our patients. All of our sterilization procedures meet or exceed government infection control standards and OSHA regulations.

ToothbrushesFor each and every patient, we do the following:

  • Autoclave (heat-sterilize) all instruments and hand pieces
  • Maintain our autoclave in a sterile state
  • Use disposable masks, gloves, suction tips, polishing heads, air and water syringe tips and paper products

We also ensure a sterile environment for you by using non-porous, easy to clean materials, such as:

  • Operating room vinyl floors
  • Barrier coverings on switches, buttons, handles and x-ray heads

Our office also uses Suni Digital Radiography. With digital x-rays, the patient is exposed to less than half the radiation than that of standard x-ray equipment.
