Our Commitment to Patient Safety

At Tribeca Advanced Dentistry, protecting our patients and team is part of everything we do. Our Manhattan dental office combines infection-control procedures, protective equipment, air purification, and careful cleaning to support a safe, comfortable treatment environment.

Protective Equipment and Infection Control

Our practice follows American Dental Association recommendations and applicable OSHA requirements. Our clinical team uses protective equipment appropriate to the procedure, including masks or N95 respirators, gloves, face shields, and protective gowns.

Single-use items are discarded after use. Reusable protective equipment is cleaned and reprocessed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Air Purification and UV Technology

Our treatment rooms feature air-purification systems with shielded ultraviolet technology to help reduce airborne microorganisms. We also use UV-C equipment between appointments as an additional infection-control measure.

These technologies support our routine cleaning and disinfection procedures.

Reducing Aerosols During Dental Treatment

Some dental procedures produce aerosols—small particles and droplets that can remain suspended in the air. To help capture these particles near their source, we use additional suction equipment when appropriate.

Depending on your procedure, you may see an extraoral suction device positioned near your mouth or a high-volume suction device used inside your mouth.

Cleaning Between Appointments

We clean and disinfect treatment surfaces between patients and regularly clean frequently touched areas throughout the office.

Disinfectants are used according to their manufacturer’s instructions, including the required contact time. This allows each product to work as intended rather than relying on a single disinfection time for every surface or product.

Contactless Payments and Digital Documents

We offer contactless credit card payments, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay. Touchless faucets, soap dispensers, and hand-sanitizer dispensers are also available throughout the office.

To reduce paper handling and make your information easier to access, we email treatment plans, post-treatment instructions, and receipts.

Zelle is another payment option. You can add <a href=”mailto:[email protected]”>[email protected]</a> as the recipient for payments to our office.

A Comfortable Waiting Area

Our waiting area includes a Dyson air purifier with HEPA filtration to help capture airborne particles. Protective barriers are also installed at the front desk.

Please wear a mask while in the office, except when you are receiving dental treatment.

If you prefer to wait outside, benches are available directly outside our office. Please let our front desk team know so we can notify you when we are ready for your appointment.
