ADVANCED SAFETY PROCEDURES
Your Safety Is Our Priority
We invest in safe dental care – for you, your loved ones, our families, our team, and our community.
Existing Safety Procedures
We have always employed extensive measures to protect our patients and our team from the spread of infections – consistently exceeding all relevant guidelines for disinfection of patient areas and sterilization of instruments. Knowing that diseases will always be present in our patient population, we consistently take “universal precautions” to provide a safe environment.
We always stay up-to-date with and follow all recommendations from the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
