Proper preventative care is key to maintaining optimal oral health.
The office makes use of the latest
technologies to ensure that small problems can be addressed
before they turn in to big problems.
For example, the DIAGNOdent™, pictured below,
allows us to detect small and hidden cavities that would normally be
missed by conventional clinical examination, thereby allowing us to monitor and treat decay before
more involved and invasive procedures are required.
We take pride in the quality of care we offer our patients. All our procedures meet
or exceed OSHA and CDA safety standards. This extends to
maintaining the highest standards of infection control and taking
the steps necessary to keep our patients safe from bacterial cross-contamination. A
partial list of what we do for our patients includes:
Sterilization of Instruments: We ultrasonic clean and then steam sterilize
our instruments for every patient. The instruments are individually bagged and opened
only at the time of treatment.
Working Surface Treatment: We use plastic coverings to protect the surfaces we
touch when working with our patients, and discard those coverings after each patient. We
use disposable supplies wherever we can because we find that to be the most effective
means of preventing cross-contamination.
Water Line Treatment: Our water bottle-based dental units allow us to have full
control over what runs through the water lines of our dental equipment. We used distilled
water in delivery of patient care and utilize state of the art disinfection techniques
to provide clean, clear water lines for each patient.
We are proud to take these extra steps for our patients' safety and comfort. Please ask
us if you would like to know what else we do "behind the scenes" for our patients.
We are pleased to provide the latest in cosmetic
dentistry tools and techniques for our patients who wish to achieve
the smile of their dreams. For example, we feature the Zoom!™ One Hour Whitening system that allows
patients to dramatically whiten their teeth in a single visit. Instead of the minimum two-week
regimen of daily in-home bleaching applications, the Zoom!™ system provides a
quick and simple path to a dazzling smile.
