Sterilization Techniques

We are extremely concerned about contagious diseases and take every precaution to make sure that there is no contamination occurring in our office.  We meet all guidelines set forth by the ADA, OSHA and the Center for Disease Control.  All of our instruments and drills are sterilized after each procedure in one of our two steam pressurized autoclaves.  We test both of our autoclaves on a regular basis to ensure that they are in proper working condition and have our results verified by an independent agency.  It is good to point out that all of our employees and most of their loved ones are patients in our office.  You can be sure that they would not do something that would jeopardize their own health.

Digital Radiographs

Our office uses only state of the art digital x-rays .  These x-rays allow us to see images instantly instead of the 5-10 minutes that is usually required.  Since the images are taken with and stored in a computer, no chemicals are needed, making the equipment environmentally friendly.  They are easily copied to send to other dental specialists or insurance companies.  And most importantly, digital x-rays reduce radiation to the patients by 80-90%.
