Here are some of the things our dental team is doing to ensure your safety

Hand Hygiene
Proper hand-washing is one of the most important measures our team takes to prevent the spread of infection. For routine dental exams and nonsurgical procedures, we wash thoroughly with water and hand soap specifically created for healthcare settings. We also have hand sanitizer available throughout the office for your convenience.

Personal Protective Equipment
We possess and use all necessary protective equipment, including custom fit face masks, gloves, protective eyewear, face shields and protective clothing. Worn by our team and changed regularly, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is designed to protect everyone in our practice from exposure to infectious agents.

Sterilization and Disinfection of Patient-Care Items and Devices
Instruments and equipment used in your care are all regularly sterilized and disinfected to ensure that your health is never at risk. Items such as surgical instruments and mouth mirrors are always sterilized before each use.

Air Filtration
We have installed HEPA air filtration units in each treatment area and the reception area. These units actively turn over the air in the room every 8-10 minutes. We also have active suction devices that minimize aerosols during procedures.

Contactless Payments
To minimize contact with credit card terminals, we have implemented contactless payment options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. We can also text/email you invoices to pay from the convenience of your own device.

Regular Sanitation
Common touch points, including seating, workspaces, door handles and restrooms are sanitized on a regular basis by our team with effective cleaning solutions certified to kill viruses.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office today for more information.

We look forward to helping you smile!
