We
use several of the
very best dental labs
in the country, such
as Da Vinci Dental
Lab and Gold Dust
Dental Lab. |
| • |
We
use a rubber dam for
all restorative treatment.
This decreases debris
from being swallowed,
and provides superior
isolation for many
procedures, thus reducing
contamination and
tooth sensitivity. |
| • |
We
use distilled water
for all dental procedures.
All water lines are
flushed and decontaminated
daily. |
| • |
We
use a multi-step sterilization
process on all handpieces
and instruments. Our
sterilization equipment
is tested weekly by
a sterilization monitoring
company. |
| • |
We
use many disposable
items to decrease
the potential for
cross contamination. |
| • |
We
constantly evaluate
the performance of
our dental materials
(such as white fillings,
bonding agents, cements,
porcelains and gold)
so that we can provide
the very best quality
possible to our patients. |
| • |
We
check for periodontal
disease (gum disease)
at every cleaning
appointment by measuring
the gum depth around
each tooth. This exceeds
the state required
standard of care,
and allows us to detect
gum disease in its
early stages when
it can best be treated.
Studies have shown
that there is a direct
link between heart
disease and periodontal
disease. |
| • |
We
screen all of our
patients at each cleaning
appointment for oral
cancer, and we refer
to a specialist if
needed. |
| • |
We
recognize that our
patients’ time
is valuable, so we
strive to keep our
appointments on time. |
| • |
Dr
Mann attends an average
of 100+ hours of continuing
education per year.
The state requirement
is only 40 hours every
2 years. |
| • |
Nearly
all of our new patients
have been referred
to us from current
patients who value
our high level of
dental care. |
| • |
We
provide fresh coffee,
drinks, and snacks
to our patients.
