Infection Control Protocols

Making Dentistry Safer with Solea

Solea is not only our way of keeping you happy, but also keeping you and our staff healthy. Solea helps reduce the risk of virus and bacteria transmission by significantly reducing the amount of splatter and aerosols created during dental procedures. This means there are fewer particles floating in the air that could potentially carry germs & viruses.

Watch the below video to see the Solea difference!

What is Solea?

Solea is an advanced dental laser developed by Convergent Dental in Boston, Massachusetts based on over 30 years of research. Solea uses laser light energy guided by sophisticated computers to deliver safe and virtually pain-free dental procedures on both teeth and gums. Solea procedures are needle-free and drill-free, providing a dental experience that you prefer. The experience is so unique that you will find it hard to believe you have been at a dental appointment.

Our Priority

Infection control has always been one of our number one priorities and we have always followed CDC, OSHA and ADA guidelines. COVID-19 allowed us the time to evaluate and implement additional measures to ensure you, our awesome patients and our team members are safe and remain healthy. You may notice some of our changes but some are behind the scenes, so we will highlight some for you!

COVID-19 Screenings; we will review risk questions – recent travel, or symptoms/diagnosis of cough, cold, flu or fever, etc.

Non-Contact Temperature Readings; using a digital thermometer will be done prior to the patient entering the clinical office areas

I’m a high anxiety panic kind of person so getting a crown is not something I look forward to. Nonetheless I am so happy and relieved that it is done. Doctor Pinto and Michelle patiently helped me through the process. They were very patient and positive with me. My visits are always way better than I expect them to be. I’m so happy that I found a quality place to get my teeth cared for. I highly recommend them. I’ve never had a bad experience here.

Best dentist ever they are all pros! They all actually care about long term teeth health and what’s best for the patient and not just their pockets. The assistants also make you feel comfortable and actually have conversations with you. I recommend you go here!!
