Patient & Staff Safety

Patient and Staff Safety

A clean, sterile environment is essential in the practice of dentistry. Rest assured that this practice employs all modern techniques to ensure a safe and worry free environment for all our patients.

Modern Hi-Tech Digital Radiographs are used in our practice resulting in up to 90% less radiation to the patient than regular x-rays.

Digital detail far surpasses the accuracy of the old conventional film-type x-rays.

We only use purified bottled water through all of our dental equipment that comes in contact with our patients.

Each room is disinfected prior to each patient procedure.

Disposable parts are used where possible.

All hand pieces are cleaned and sterilized between patients.

Gloves, masks, and protective eyewear are always worn. (Even our patients receive protective eyewear!)

A thorough health history is initially taken on each patient and updates on each recall visit.
