Infection Control at Westlake Dental Care

​

At Westlake Dental Care, patient and staff safety is our highest priority. That’s why we follow strict infection control protocols to maintain a clean, sterile, and safe environment for every visit. These precautions protect you, your dentist, and our entire team — and are a vital part of delivering trusted, high-quality care.

​

We follow the latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure our infection control standards meet or exceed all federal recommendations.

​

Our safety measures include:

​

• Disinfectant hand soap used before and after each patient interaction

• Gloves and face masks worn by all clinical staff to prevent cross-contamination

• Regular surface disinfection of countertops and treatment areas

• Sterilization of equipment between every patient using medical-grade techniques

• Use of disposable materials whenever possible to minimize risk

• Autoclave sterilization, which uses high-pressure steam to eliminate all bacteria and viruses on reusable instruments, including dental handpieces

 

We believe that trust is built through transparency. If you ever have questions about our safety practices, we encourage you to ask. Our team is always happy to explain our procedures and provide peace of mind.

​

Your health and safety are at the core of everything we do. Westlake Dental Care is fully committed to upholding the highest standards of cleanliness, protection, and professionalism — every patient, every visit.
