As a dedicated dental team, we are concerned about protecting our patients from infectious diseases. Each time a patient visits our office; a very special trust is placed in our hands. We do not take this trust lightly. That is why we are committed to providing maximum protection to you, our patient, against any harmful or infectious diseases. , we believe in quality dentistry. Our standards are in line with those laid out for practicing dental surgeries in the United Kingdom and The United States of America. We follow strict Instrument sterilization protocols and use the latest and best dental materials available in the business today.

Many hours have gone into the design of our infection-control system. We are constantly evaluating and updating our procedures.


Basic safety measures

All doctors wear gloves, masks and glasses when treating patients. After contact with each patient, the gloves are removed and discarded and are never reused for another patient. Gloves are removed or "overgloved" if the treatment of a patient is temporarily interrupted.

We wash our hands and then put on a new pair of gloves before treating another patient.


Wherever disposable (single use) items can be used, they are. We use as many plastic covers as possible. All suction tips, saliva ejectors, water glasses, headrest covers and light handle covers are disposed of and replaced between patients.

Surgery Upkeep
At the beginning of the day the floors are thoroughly scrubbed with scented Phenol which leaves the place clean and smelling fresh. All carpeted/non carpeted areas are meticulously cleaned with a high power vacuum cleaner to get all the dust mites out and prevent air borne infections if any. The chairs and all moving/rotating parts are sprayed with antiseptic solution and wiped clean with a soft cloth. After every patient the same procedure is followed for the chairs to prevent cross infection.

Between each patient, the treatment rooms are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. First, all debris is wiped off of all countertops and any surface that may have been contaminated. Then, a disinfectant is sprayed on all surfaces.


Sterilization of Dental Instruments

All the instruments are cleaned and soaked in a sterilizing liquid and put through a system of ultrasonic scrubbing. Then, they are dried and packaged and heat sterilized in a large, pressurized oven called autoclaveat 121 C. This insures the instruments are not contaminated before they are actually set-up in the treatment room. . At this temperature all known disease causing bacteria are known to be killed. This is the standard autoclaving procedure followed in Operation Theatre worldwideWe test our sterilization units frequently to make sure they are working properly.

Every patient receives a new compliment of sterilized instruments
and disposables for each procedure. All local anesthetic is given from sealed syringes that are opened in front of you and disposed off immediately after treatment. Dentists and patients mandatorily wear "Blue Blockers" ( glasses ) during tooth whitening procedures to prevent any harm to the eyes.


To reduce the risk of contamination, all cotton rolls, cotter pellets and gauze used in our operatories are sterilized and stored in quantities convenient for use.






Clean Water

All dental procedures are carried out using water from reverse osmosis system instead of water from the tap. Our water system is designed with special filters and certain disposable parts to ensure that the water supply for each patient is free from disease causing agents.


Special Cleaning of Dental Handpieces

After each use, we follow special procedures for cleaning our hand pieces (the dental drills). The handpiece is flushed with water and scrubbed with detergent and hot water. A cleaner/lubricant is sprayed into the handpiece. The handpiece is then sterilized using special piece of equipment called an autoclave.

By making you more aware of the measures being taken by us for your protection, we hope that your trust and confidence in our team will make your visits a bit more comfortable.

Please feel free to contact our office if you have any further questions concerning our sterilization methods.
