Absolute sterility during procedures is our top-most priority. No two ways about it!

Since the inception of American Smiles Dental Clinic, we made sure that our sterilization protocol is meticulous, scientific and in accordance with health governing bodies such as CDC, ADA, and OSHA. We want our patients to feel safe during their treatment and eliminate any means of cross-contamination. Our processes are routinely quality assured and checked so that there are no gaps in the system.
Keeping the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic in mind, we have incorporated additional sterilization and disinfection protocols to practice safe dentistry during these trying times.
