We take great pride in our strict infection control procedures. In addition to the standard level of required measures, we also use a closed-circuit distilled water system, superior high volume suction, Surgically Clean Air purifiers, iQ Air suction units to reduce harmful aerosols, ozone sterilization techniques, and barriers whenever possible. Although not required, we do have a mercury separator to prevent harmful materials from going back into our public water system, and we have a special ventilation system designed to remove even more of the trace amounts of mercury from the air. Its important for our patients to know how dedicated we are to protecting their health.
Air Flow Performance Engineered to maximize the air change rate by moving large volumes without the air drag that often occurs in more inferior air purifiers, Unlike those other air purifiers, the top air outlet design allows air to cascade out the top and efficiently flow throughout the room while keeping the sound volume at an industry leading low level (~55DB). Its as quiet as a standard household dishwasher. Household quiet, but with the strength to provide healthier air in large rooms also which is perfectly suited for medical, commercial, or residential environments.
The JADE air purification system utilizes Surgically Clean Airs multi-stage air purifying technologies that work together to clean, purify and re-energize the indoor air. The multi stage filtration system captures dust particles, pollen, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), mold, allergens, viruses, odors (like formaldehyde and smoke), bio-aerosols, nitrous oxide, and many other pollutants that are found in the inside air in workplaces and residences. For an air purifier to deliver its benefits throughout the indoor space it needs to move large volumes of air through its filtration system effectively without impacting those people that are closest to it by creating a breeze or being too loud.
IQAir extraoral suction air purification systems provide a line of defense against harmful airborne materials and infectious pathogens that can threaten the health and safety of patients and staff. When combined with intraoral suction, IQAir extraoral suction air purifiers right at the patient source can reduce aerosol levels, bacterial colonies, and airborne viral particles from dental procedures to almost zero.
The dental workplace can expose dentists, staff, and patients to a wide variety of air pollutants during routine dental work, including infectious aerosol particles from high-speed instruments as well as airborne pathogens like bacteria and viruses. In order to effectively clean the air in a dental office, an air purifier must be able to use extraoral suction and high-efficiency particles and gas filtration technology to capture both particles (aerosols, microorganisms, droplets, dust) and gaseous chemicals (mercury vapors, gaseous organic compounds).
Before he was Dr. Scott, he was the quiet, well-mannered, hard-working young man at Coronado High School, Lubbock Christian University, Texas Tech University, and then The University of Texas San Antonio Dental School. Hes always been self-disciplined shooting countless free throws in the gym, running cross-country, achieving rank of Eagle Scout, working long hours in the cotton fields every summer, and diligently studying to earn multiple recognitions for academics. When you combine a drive to do the hard thing, a determination to do the right thing, and an ability to recognize the God thing, you end up with a man of humility, character, and respect such as Dr. Micheal Scott.
Dr. Scott is a devoted family man, spending most of his free time with his wife- Allison, daughter- Megan, son- Brady, & large extended family. Dr. Scotts hobbies include tinkering with the latest technologies, attending his kids sporting events, sharing his skills with his sons scouting troop, landscaping (yes, he is the cultivator of our amazing lawn), making memories on family vacations, playing an occasional round of golf, and doing home improvement projects. Dr. Scott is not one who partakes in much rest hes very active and keeps a lengthy to-do list which keeps him happily busy. He is driven by the notion that satisfaction = stagnation at work and at home. So whether hes creating a new smile for a patient or fixing a broken sprinkler head, hes always looking for a way to make things better.
