Our Registered Dental Assistants Our staff of registered dental assistants have been with our office for many years. They are dedicated to treating patients with utmost care, compassion, and professionalism. They are responsible for making sure that your dental visits are comfortable and pleasant. Working as a team, they make sure the instruments are in our computerized sterilizer and are set up, ready for your appointment. They also take X-rays, cement temporary crowns, and hold your hand to comfort you during your dental treatment. We are very proud that our experienced office staff family have been with us for years and have been delivering prompt, individual care to our patients. They take continuing dental assistant courses to better serve our patients.		Irma and Ecaterina, Our Registered Dental Assistants

Sterilization

As a dedicated dental team, we are concerned about patient protection from infectious diseases. Each time a patient visits our office, a very special trust is placed into our hands. We do not take this trust lightly. That is why we are committed to providing maximum protection to you, our patients, against any kind of infectious disease.

Many hours have gone into the design of our infection control system. We are constantly evaluating and updating our procedures. The use of gloves, masks, and protective eyewear are some of the more prominent steps that are taken to ensure your safety. But what goes on behind the scenes? What steps are taken that are not so obvious to you, the patient? Between each patient, the treatment rooms are thoroughly wiped with disinfectant. All the instruments and handpieces are put through a system of ultrasonic scrubbing and then sterilized in the autoclave. These instruments and handpieces are packaged in such a fashion that ensures they are never touched before actual setup in the treatment room. An independent third party continuously checks the autoclave system to ensure the maximum sterilization technique.

We hope by making you more aware of what measures are being taken on your behalf, we may make your visits a little bit more comfortable.
