The First Choice For Dental Implants & Periodontics
Welcome to the Office of Barry P. Levin DMD PC
Infection Control
Our Safety Standards
Due to the nature of dentistry it is important to provide our patients with a certain level of care and safety. Because of the surgical procedures and tools we use and the chance to come in contact with bacteria or viruses it is important that we ease peoples fears about infection control during a medical procedure.
It is standard to see our staff with gloves, gowns, and masks in the office during each patient visit and of course they are disposed after each visit. Drapes, gloves, and needles are thrown away and new ones are used for the next patient. All hand instruments are washed and disinfected/sterilized with chemicals or steam after each use.
Dental sterilizers are imperative to a dental practice. We use the latest autoclaves (sterilizers) to steam clean our dental instruments (up to 270 degrees) and equipment. Designed for safety as well as infection control, sterilizers lock while in use and unlock when instruments are sterile and dry. While steam is a common method for dental instrument sterilization, some dental sterilizers use dry heat and eliminate moisture from the process.
