New Patients | Initial Visit | Financial Information | Patient Safety

Due to the concern about safety and sterilization, we have chosen to share with you some valuable information about our sterilization methods and infection control systems.

There are currently three similar sets of guidelines established by OSHA, the American Dental Association, and the Center for Disease Control. In addition to compliance with every requirement from each list, we also follow all recommendations for added safety so that our individual office standards exceed requirements at all times.

In the clinic, each treatment room is equipped with an independent bottled water source using distilled water. We use a professional laundry service to clean our clinic attire, towels, and blankets. Our towels are then sterilized using an autoclave, and we use disposable supplies at every opportunity.

For added patient safety, the system we use for all of our x-rays is a digital system. These digital x-rays provide a significant reduction in radiographic exposure compared to traditional x-rays.

Maintenance of infection control standards at this level is costly and time consuming, but essential in our opinion. We welcome any questions you may have and are eager to show you our sterilization facilities should you so desire. Your health and protection is one of our greatest concerns.
