When it comes to seeing the dentist during uncertain and often complicated times, you deserve added dependability and security. Please know that everyone in our Buckhead dental office goes above and beyond the already stringent sterilization and disinfection procedures we had in place before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our goal is to continue to provide all of our patients comprehensive, responsible dental care that you can always rely on for optimal oral health.
As you probably already know, weve always had strict procedures in place designed to heat and sterilize instruments and to disinfect treatment rooms. With COVID-19, were now taking even greater precautions to ensure the air within the entire office is clean. Weve now implemented HEPA filtration and UV air-light purification from AiroCide to our sterilization and disinfection protocols produced locally in Georgia.
All hand instruments are sterilized with heat using a medical-grade autoclave device. Treatment rooms are treated with surface disinfectants, and many surfaces are now covered with plastic barriers. We also use a water purification system in every treatment room to ensure any water irrigation being used is contaminant-free.
If youre currently a member of our dental family, then you know that the team at our dental office in Buckhead has always utilized disposable gloves, eye protection, and masks to ensure a safe, sterile environment. Were now using disposable gowns for procedures that are likely to produce aerosols.
