Our Commitment to Safety

The safety of our patients and staff is our top priority.

We follow American Dental Association (ADA) and OSHA guidelines in our practice. You are going to see our staff wearing N95 masks, shields, and protective gowns in addition to the simple surgical masks we wore before. All shields, masks, and gowns are either sterilized or disposed after seeing each patient. All our doctors and personnel have been vaccinated or have antibodies.

Some of you may have heard about the ‘aerosol’ which is created during dental treatment, which may carry the virus if a patient is infected. Therefore, we obtained additional equipment to decrease spread of Covid-19 and other viral diseases through air particles. We use UVC light to disinfect rooms in between patients. We have also installed a central air purification system in each treatment room, which utilizes shielded UV light to continuously disinfect the air. It can replace the air in each room with newly disinfected air every 15 minutes.

In addition, you will see a few extra devices that help with suctioning aerosol right next to you, which is either extra-oral suction or additional intra-oral high-speed suction.

We are keeping the surfaces and everything you need to touch thoroughly disinfected with the appropriate FDA-approved cleaning substances which are highly capable of killing the virus in 15-60 seconds.

To minimize the contact with surfaces and administrative staff, we have installed touchless credit card processing, Apple pay, Samsung pay and other touchless devices such as faucets, soap dispensers, and disinfectant dispensers.
To minimize the amount of paper handling, we are emailing all post-care instructions, treatment plans, and receipts to you. We are also asking our patients to submit payments through Zelle rather than writing us a check or handing over cash, if possible. You can add [email protected] as a recipient for Zelle payments.

You will always be asked to wear your mask while in the office, except when you are actively receiving dental treatment. This will help us minimize the exposure of the personnel not actively involved with your dental treatment. To further protect our front desk personnel, we installed sneeze guards. In our waiting room, we have installed Dyson Pure Cool Cryptomic with HEPA filter to continuously remove air borne particles.

In addition, we placed a few benches directly outside of the office, so if you uncomfortable in the waiting area, you can comfortably wait outside. We welcome your feedback and questions, and are happy to address your concerns, as we will strive daily to keep our patients and our personnel safe.
