Infection Control
Our Infection Control Protocols
Our infection control protocols are based on National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Universal Precautions guidelines. We adopt a mindful approach to ensuring a hygienic and sterile environment before, during, and after our procedures. Our comprehensive protocol involves the following practices:
Instrument Sterilisation
All dental instruments and handpieces are autoclaved and individually sealed for each patient. This process is closely monitored for quality assurance.
Disposable of Uses
We adhere to single-use disposable dental instruments wherever possible. All used disposables are safely disposed of as per Australia’s environmental protection guidelines.
Staff Training & Awareness
Our clinical and laboratory staff are continuously trained and educated on all infection control practices, diseases, and guidelines.
Regulatory Compliance
All our infection control protocols are strictly based on ACT Health and Australian Dental Association (ADA) guidelines.
Hygiene Practices
Our staff and dental experts follow systematic hand hygiene and use face masks and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while performing procedures.
Clean & Modern Facilities
Our facility is mindfully designed to minimise the potential for contamination. We also conduct thorough cleaning and disinfection to ensure a hygienic environment.
