Sterilization

We know that preventing the spread of infectious diseases such as AIDS, herpes, hepatitis and even the cold virus is critical and take sterilization very seriously.  For this reason we use extensive sterilization procedures, going well beyond those recommended by the American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control.

We use barrier techniques such as disposable masks and gloves and change them for every patient.  Every piece of equipment is wiped-down with antibacterial solution prior to every operatory procedure.  Water lines and evacuation hoses are cleaned per the guidelines of the American Dental Association.
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. 

Patient Comfort

While no dental procedure is 100% comfortable, we go to great lengths to minimize any discomfort you might feel.  Many of our patients remark, "This was not even painful?  How did you do that?"  The following are some of the latest techniques we use to provide you with as comfortable an experience as possible.
