Your Safety Is Our First Priority
We understand your need for a safe and worry-free dental care experience during this time, thats why we have taken active measures in-line with recommendations by the WHO, American Dental Association and the FDI to implement strict protocols and processes.
At Dentzz, the creation of a safe environment for all dental procedures rests on four key pillars; infrastructure and processes, stringent sterilization protocols, cutting-edge technology and trained personnel. These pillars ensure that our patients receive the very best dental care possible, even in the current circumstances.
Infrastructure And Processes
With careful planning and space management designed to meet the needs of the patient, Dentzz ensures a safe and seamless dental care experience.
- All our centers are located in buildings that adhere to stringent COVID protocols.
- A large waiting area allows for the easy maintenance of social distancing.
- Multiple lounge areas ensure that in case patients need to wait, they may do so inseparate areas.
- Systematic time management ensures appointments are spaced to avoid orminimize waiting time or overlap.
- A dedicated area for donning and doffing of PPEs (Personal Protective Equipment).
- Multiple operatories, spaced apart, allow separate treatment rooms for each patient;mitigating any chance of cross-contamination.
Sterilization And Sanitation
Our sterilization and disinfection protocols are based on the guidelines set by the WHO, American Dental Association, FDI and the recent COVID prevention guidelines.
- A dedicated sterilization room
- Daily fumigation, surface disinfection and fogging of all dental care centers.
- Disinfection of the premises around the clinic, ensuring standards of hygiene are maintained.
- Safe and hygienic disposal of biomedical waste.
- The use of disposable instruments wherever possible.
- Separate and dedicated operatory for aerosol-generating procedures to eliminate chances of cross-contamination. Each of these rooms is also equipped with air filtration systems for enhanced safety.
Technology
Our use of the latest technology reduces the number of visits required for key procedures so that our patients can minimise their need to travel for expert dental care.
- A CBCT that offers 3D imaging capabilities and full mouth X rays ensures that patientsdo not have to travel to another facility for further investigation.
- Each center is equipped with CEREC technology, which allows for the creation of dental prosthetics like crowns in a single day, thereby, reducing the number of visits.
Personnel
Every doctor and staff member at Dentzz has received formal training to ensure adherence to the best practices.
- All our doctors have received WHO certification to manage infection control.
- Meticulous training and monitoring of all staff to ensure the implementation of the latest protocols and guidelines.
