At Excellence in Dentistry, we take pride in our work and stand behind the work we do. However, the long term prognosis and success is mostly determined by you, the patient. Your teeth and dental work will ultimately last as long as you take good care of them.
We take your health very seriously, which is why we perform measures in our office to reduce the chances of infection and cross-contamination of disease from patient to patient. Our sterilization and disinfection protocols meet, and in many cases exceed, the standard set by OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) for health professional practice clinics.
