PATIENT INFO

Patient Concerns

Patient Education

We find that patients are more comfortable when they know what to expect on each step of a proposed treatment. As learning is predominantly visual, we offer a three-dimensional animated presentation of all major periodontal and dental implant procedures. This computerized presentation has become a valuable aid in patient education.

Our goal is that you are completely informed concerning your condition and any treatment that will be performed.


Patient Safety

We adhere to the highest professional standards of cleanliness, sterilization, and radiation control. Our staff regularly attend safety seminars and are quite knowledgeable on the latest techniques.

Sterilization

                       
We know that preventing the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV, herpes, hepatitis and even the cold virus is critical. We use extensive sterilization procedures. We use barrier techniques such as disposable masks and gloves and replace them with every new patient. Each piece of fixed operatory equipment is wiped-down with antibacterial solution prior to every clinical procedure. Sterile water delivery systems are utilized. We use autoclave sterilization for all instruments prior to dental examination and treatment. You can be assured that our staff have been specifically trained on sterilization procedures and their importance.

Post Treatment Instructions

After treatment, home care and medication instructions will be thoroughly explained. For your convenience, you will also be given printed instructions. Of course, we are always available for questions after treatment.

Patient Comfort

We go to extraordinary lengths to ensure our patients are as comfortable as possible during dental procedures.
