COVID-19 Air Purification Measures to Protect Your Health & Safety
We've installed medical-grade air purification systems in every operatory. These filtration units continually purify the air, killing airborne contaminants, and viruses, including the novel coronavirus — all part of keeping you healthy and safe while we take care of your smile.
Breathe Medical-grade Clean Air
Aeris and Surgically Clean Air filters help to sterilize the air in our clinic. Zinc mineral and silver ion filters remove bio-aerosols, odours, gasses, disinfectants, particulates, molds, fungi, bacteria, and kills viruses from aerosols (including the coronavirus).
99.995% of Viruses Eliminated
To ensure your safety at our clinic, the 0.1μm H-14 HEPA air filters we're using eliminate 99.995% of airborne pollutants — including the novel coronavirus — which can spread disease and endanger sensitive lungs.
Air Filtered 30 Times Per Hour
The air in our dental clinic is thoroughly filtered 30 to 35 times per hour, helping to ensure it's contaminant-free all day long. Rest assured that you can breathe safely while we care for your oral health.
