Special Office Features

Digital X-Rays

We use digital x-rays in our office, utilizing a sensitive phosphor plate, that allows for a digital image to be stored for each patient. This system allows for minimal processing downtime, no chemicals and significantly less radiation.

Contactless Forms

We have implemented a state of the art software and database system that allows for contactless forms, documentation, and appointment tracking. We also send email reminders for your child’s appointments, making it easier for you to keep track and confirm your appointments. These upgrades allow for contactless interactions with our office. We are also constantly working on the new state of the art digital features that will be implemented down the line.

Ventilation

We have installed a MERV-13 filter into our existing ventilation system for
enhanced air filtration.

allergy and asthma triggers by capturing the unwanted allergens from your home or of ice including
mold, dust mites, bacteria, and harmful virus carriers. Ideal for families and large businesses, MERV-13 air filters promote a clean, healthy environment.

Vacuum Line Maintenance

All of our vacuum lines are cleaned daily with special disinfectants.

Instrument Sterilization

All of our dental instruments are first washed and scrubbed to remove debris. They are then placed in an ultrasonic washer and cleaned with a special medical grade detergent. We then place them in high heat and high-pressure autoclaves for further sterilization. All instruments are placed in a special sterilization bag that has an indicator, which lets us know that each instrument has been properly and adequately sterilized.

Non Toxic Disinfectants

We have implemented enhanced sterilization methods for additional disinfection and safety since the COVID-19 pandemic. We utilize a powerful and non-toxic disinfectant which is on the EPA N list for COVID-19 and other bacteria and viruses. We always elect environmentally friendly and non- toxic options for the safety of our patients and the community. We use a fogger and disinfect the entire office multiple times a day.

Medical Laundry Service

For additional safety precautions, we use a medical linen service that picks up and wash all of the gowns and scrubs weekly, and provides clean industrial and medical grade laundry services.

PPE

When seeing patients ALL our clinical staff wears a 3M respirator mask, goggles, face shield, a level 2 fluid-resistant gown, and hair covering. Our PPE is wiped and cleaned with disinfectants that are on the EPA-N list for Covid-19 as well as all other viruses and bacteria. We launder and clean our PPE daily.

Fogging

We use a commercial-grade fogger that can spray disinfectant in small microparticles, to clean and disinfect the office several times a day. Utilizing our fogger we spray hypochlorous acid (on EPA N-list), which is a non-toxic & powerful disinfectant with a virus kill time of under 60 seconds, throughout the office in every room, daily.
