How do we ensure that your health and safety is well protected at Pristine?
Your safety is our highest priority. Every aspect of our practice is designed to protect your health and wellbeing, with strict infection control protocols forming the foundation of the care we provide.
These measures help ensure every patient receives care in a clean, safe and well-maintained clinical environment.
Hand Hygiene
We practise strict hand hygiene protocols using antimicrobial hand wash and alcohol-based hand rubs before and after every patient interaction.
Surface Disinfection
All clinical surfaces, including the dental chair, light handles, X-ray equipment and countertops, are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after every patient.
Instrument Sterilisation
All reusable instruments are sterilised in our dedicated sterilisation room. After thorough cleaning, they are sealed in sterilisation pouches and sterilised in a steam autoclave before being safely stored until use.
Dental Handpieces
Our dental handpieces undergo a dedicated cleaning, lubrication and sterilisation process using specialised automated equipment before every use.
Disposable Items
Wherever appropriate, we use single-use disposable items, including cups, bibs, saliva ejectors, needles and local anaesthetic cartridges, to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
Water Quality
The water supplied through our dental units is filtered and the waterlines are routinely disinfected to maintain a clean and safe treatment environment.
Clinical Waste Management
All clinical waste is handled and disposed of in accordance with strict safety regulations. Sharps are placed in puncture-resistant containers, while other contaminated waste is safely collected by a licensed clinical waste management company.
Staff Immunisation
Our clinical team is appropriately immunised against transmissible diseases, providing an added layer of protection for both our patients and staff.
Dedicated Handpiece sterilizer
Your safety begins with understanding your overall health. Before treatment, we carefully review your medical history and assess for any conditions that may affect your dental care.
While medical emergencies in a dental clinic are uncommon, our team is trained in basic life support and our practice is equipped to respond promptly should one occur. We also have established protocols for contacting emergency medical services whenever necessary.
Clinical waste is carefully segregated and disposed of in designated medical waste containers in accordance with strict safety and regulatory guidelines
Pristine Dental is a mercury-free practice. We do not use dental amalgam fillings and instead restore teeth using modern tooth-coloured materials such as composite resin and glass ionomer cement.
We use modern X-ray technology to obtain the diagnostic information we need while keeping radiation exposure as low as possible.
Our practice complies with all applicable radiation safety regulations and our X-ray facilities are designed to meet the required standards. We use modern digital X-ray technology, which keeps radiation exposure to a minimum while providing high-quality diagnostic images.
When appropriate, protective lead aprons are provided for additional protection. Dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation and are considered safe when taken only as needed for diagnosis and treatment planning.
