COVID-19 has brought infection control and safety to the forefront of everyone’s minds. At Smile Studios in Redmond, Washington, we have been invested in your family’s safety since long before COVID-19 emerged. Our dental practice is equipped with state-of-the-art automated infection control technologies, including the Integro Pro system, that enable us to disinfect our dental stations and equipment quickly and thoroughly to protect our patients and our dental team.
At Smile Studios in Redmond, Washington, we set the bar for patient safety and infection control. Unfortunately, due to the time-consuming nature of properly disinfecting dental stations between patients without automated sanitization systems in place, the vast majority of dental offices simply do not follow proper infection control procedures.
As part of our commitment to your health and safety, we have invested in Integro Pro, the best disinfection and sanitation system for dental practices. This system ensures safe and continuous disinfection:
– It automatically dispenses a precise amount of Dentosept disinfectant into our water supply to continually ensure that bacterial levels in our treatment water are as low as possible.
– It is equipped with an integrated air gap, which prevents the backflow of water to avoid cross-contamination.
– We have built-in sanitization adaptors that enable us to flush and clean our water lines with the press of a button, making the process efficient and straightforward.
– Our suction hoses are also automatically rinsed with the press of a button.
– All parts of our treatment system are fully removable for sterilization and are designed with smooth surfaces free of gaps to reduce the surface area where pathogens can reside.
– Most of the functions in our sanitization system are operated hands-free, further preventing cross-contamination.
In addition to the automated processes that the Integro Pro system provides, our dental team takes several additional steps to keep you safe. We wipe down all surfaces with medical-grade disinfectants between each patient and have a specialized sanitation station that sterilizes our instruments after each use. Furthermore, we have private treatment rooms, instead of partial wall barriers – this naturally eliminates exposure to other patients during treatment.
Additionally, when you visit us, you will notice that we use several different forms of personal protective equipment to prevent the spread of pathogens between our staff and patients, including gloves, masks, eyewear, face shields, and gowns. While the masks may hide our smiles while providing your dental, know that we are happy to see you at every visit!
