Infection Control

Dr. Duerst and Dr. Arnason share your concern about the spread of disease and work hard to safeguard their patients, and staff, against infection.

When you visit our office, you will see a clean office carefully maintained by well-trained staff. Our dental team always wear gloves, eye protection and complete protective wear during each procedure. After each patient, they discard those gloves, wash their hands and put on a new pair of gloves.

Your protection starts long before you ever enter the treatment room. Here are a few of the things that you don't see: All surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, staff members sterilize all instruments after their use and dispose of anything that is potentially infectious.

Dr. Duerst and Dr. Arnason and their staff want you to know that your protection, care and comfort are our top priorities. That is why we meet, or exceed, the highest infection control standards.

If you have any concerns or questions, please contact us.
