Our Commitment to Safety at
Torrance Dentistry

We recognize times have changed. Priorities have shifted. Today, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our staff and patients. With this in mind, we are happy to share the many additional steps we are taking to make every visit to our office as safe as possible. These actions are incremental to our normal standards of care that meet or exceed all CDC,OSHA and ADA guidelines for dental practices. Our goal is to add peace-of-mind to the friendliness and clinical excellence you have come to expect. Of course, this is part of an on-going commitment that will evolve with the times. As always, we welcome the opportunity to answer any of your questions and to address all concerns. We are in this together, we’ve got you covered!

ADVANCED STAFF TRAINING

No contact temperature checks and a quick set of questions will ensure our team is ready, willing and able to provide safe dental care – every day.

DAILY HEALTH CHECKS OF OUR TEAM

Each member of our team has completed additional awareness and prevention programs to enhance their knowledge and preparedness.

ANTI-MICROBIAL RINSE

In addition to brushing and flossing before your visit, we will provide an Oracare solution to rinse in your mouth for 60 seconds and reduce bacteria.

PRE-SCREENING OF EVERY PATIENT

A quick health questionnaire and consent form along with a no-touch temperature check will be completed when you arrive at our office.

HOSPITAL-GRADE HAND SANITIZING STATION

Every patient will be asked to thoroughly disinfect their hands before entering the clinical area of our practice.

CLEANING AFTER EVERY APPOINTMENT

We are super clean as we thoroughly wipe, sanitize, and disinfect all instruments, equipment and surfaces in each operatory after every patient.

CDC-APPROVED INSTRUMENT STERILIZATION

This is standard procedure at all times, and nothing has changed. Anything that goes near your mouth is heat and pressure cleaned between every use.

N95, ASTM LEVEL 3 MASKS, & FACE SHIELDS

The beautiful smiles of our clinical team – dentists, hygienists, and assistants – will be protected behind double-masking at all times. Two masks are not enough. Our clinical team will also protect you and themselves through the use of FDA Approved PET face shields. Even our friendly administrative team will be wearing ASTM Level 3 masks. Don’t worry. They are smiling behind those masks!

ADVANCED CHAIRSIDE SUCTION

Whenever possible, we will activate high speed evacuation to minimize aerosol contamination and improve air quality.

HEPA AIR FILTRATION

Our air has never been cleaner. We have added HEPA-grade filters to our HVAC system along with stand-alone air cleaners in each operatory.

INSTALLED CLEAR BARRIERS

Hard plastic guards have been placed strategically throughout the practice – and are cleaned regularly – to help block the movement of airborne particle.
