Our infection-prevention procedures are designed to protect patients and team members at every visit. We welcome questions about how treatment rooms, instruments, and disposable materials are prepared.
Ask our team about any part of our safety process. We will explain the steps used before, during, and after your appointment.
Our protocols follow applicable guidance from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Routine measures include:
Reusable instruments, including dental handpieces, are processed between patients according to their required classification. Our autoclave uses pressurized steam and heat to sterilize approved equipment.
Clear information supports informed health decisions. If you want to understand our daily disinfection, sterilization, or protective-equipment procedures, please ask during your visit.
