Standards We Take Seriously
A dental office is a medical environment, and we hold ourselves to a high bar. We are proud to exceed the sterilization standards set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, making patient safety and office cleanliness two of our most important commitments.
Our instruments are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before every single use. We use an autoclave - a machine that applies high-pressure steam at temperatures high enough to eliminate bacteria and viruses that may have transferred to a tool during use. Wherever possible, we also use single-use disposable materials and barriers, discarding them after each patient so there is no need to sterilize them at all.
How We Protect You at Every Appointment
-
Personal Protective Equipment
Every member of our clinical team - dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants - wears gloves, eyewear, and masks. All of it is single-use and discarded after each patient visit.
-
Clean Clothing, Every Shift
Our team's clothing is professionally laundered so everyone starts each day in a fresh outfit. If clothing becomes soiled during a shift, clean replacements are always on hand.
-
Medical-Grade Disinfection
Several times a day we wipe down every frequently touched surface throughout the office - countertops, tables, doorknobs, cabinets, sinks, and restrooms - using medical-grade disinfectants, on top of regular cleaning done outside office hours.
-
Filtered Water Lines
The water used to rinse your mouth during treatment passes through filtered lines designed to remove bacteria and microorganisms. We monitor bacterial levels regularly and follow manufacturer guidelines to keep the system performing as it should.
-
A Healthy Team in the Office
Our team members stay home when they are feeling unwell, and we ask the same of our patients - because protecting our whole community is something we do together.
-
Special Accommodations
If you have questions about any of our procedures or would like to discuss specific accommodations before your visit, our team is happy to help - please reach out to us.
Nothing Gets in the Way of Great Care
Every protocol we follow exists for one reason: to make sure that nothing stands between you and the high-quality, personalized dental care you deserve. Whether times call for everyday precautions or heightened vigilance, our commitment stays the same.
