In addition to being digital and paperless, we are proud to have the latest techniques and technology to offer best practices in infection control and environmental conservation. For example, we utilize cassette sterilization, which ensures you are treated with sterile instruments, and have state-of-the-art mechanical equipment which conserves hundreds of gallons of water daily. We also have air purifiers to cleanse the air of impurities and pathogens, and use in-office distillation and a plumbed water cooler to reduce plastic waste and transport-related carbon emissions.
