Our Office

Welcome

At First Impression Dental we are dedicated to providing the highest quality dental care in a friendly and caring environment. We work hard to offer personalized care and treatment so every patient feels most comfortable, and receives our undivided attention.

Our office is designed to provide the most current dental treatment, and with maximum patient comfort and safety. With regard to COVID 19and concern for a safe office atmospheric environment for patients and staff, we have incorporated an I-Wave C commercial Air Purification System, and MERV-13 air filters into our central cooling and heating system. This system is designed to maintain office air flow free of bacterial, viral, and other particles for an exceptionally healthy office air atmosphere.

Sterilization

We use extensive sterilization procedures that are beyond those recommended by the American Dental Association and The Centers for Disease Control.

We change gloves, masks, and barriers in between every patient. All surfaces and equipment are wiped with disinfecting solution before a new patient is seated in the treatment room.

Our brand new X-Ray machines use minimal radiation. Compared to some older units, these require up to 75% less radiation, while providing exceptional image quality for improved diagnosis.

All dental instruments are sterilized in between every patient. We use state-of-the-art sterilization equipment that destroys all possible forms of bacteria or virus using high-pressure steam. In order to ensure adequate sterilization every time, we use sterilization indicators on all instrument packages. Once a week we use a professional testing service to add absolute assurance to this sterilization system.

Appointments

We reserve time through scheduled appointments to allow for thorough and concentrated individual attention.

Please remember that once you make an appointment, the doctor’s time, treatment room, and support personnel have been reserved specifically for you. If you feel you require a reminder phone call please request this from our staff. We are also able to provide e-mail and text reminders, if it is more convenient.

Your time is valuable to us. We are committed to scheduling that ensures that our patients are seen in a timely manner. We ask that you help us to do this by arriving at least 5 minutes before your appointment.
