We understand aersools in Dental offices can be scary so in our waiting area and every treatment room, we installed state of the art Molekule air filters. Molekule’s Photo Electrochemical oxidation(PECO) filters works at destroying pollutants at a molecular level.

Between each patient the PECO filters will be turned on high for the recommended 15 minutes to remove the aerosols before a new patient is introduced into the room. To learn more about Molekule visit their website.

Before you enter the examining room, all surfaces, such as the dental chair, dental light, drawer handles and countertops, have been cleaned and disinfected thoroughly with medical grade disinfectants that kill 99.9% of all harmful bacteria and viruses.

Disposable protective coverings on equipment and dental tools are disposed of and replaced after each patient visit.

Non-disposable items such as dental tools and instruments are cleaned and sterilized between patients using hospital grade sterilization equipment. Our sterilization equipment is monitored and tested on a regular basis.

All staff involved in patient care use appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, masks, gowns and eyewear when needed. After each patient, disposable gloves and masks are thrown away.
