You can be assured that we sterilize and/or disinfect everything in accordance with the American Dental Association (ADA) guidelines. All instruments are cleaned in an autoclave with heat, chemicals and pressure, which kills all viruses and bacteria. Our handpieces (dental drills) are heat sterilized between each use for your protection. All paper and plastic items are safely discarded after use. All hard surfaces (counter tops, etc.) are disinfected between each patient. And all dentists, hygienists and assistants wear new masks and gloves for each patient. We understand your concern and desire for optimum sterilization and cleanliness.
