Our Office
has become the 'the place
to be' for the orthodontic treatment of many of the kids and teens in the Chino Valley area of Southern California. One look at the relaxed and pleasant ocean and surfing themed surroundings and you'll see why.  Our adult patients agree too!

The kids waiting room has X-Box, PS2, and Game Cube computer games featuring the new EYE TOY which is a great hit!  Overhead a baby dolphin chases flying fish. A hammerhead shark guides you to the treatment area   
 
Office Sterilization and Cleanliness Standards
"We practice the highest level of sterilization and cleanliness procedures found in modern orthodontic offices today." This is a routine part of our work. To inform you and make you feel comfortable about our procedures in this area some of these procedures are listed below:
 
  • We use dry heat sterilizers for all our hand pliers and a steam autoclave for sterilization of the dental handpieces. Items which cannot withstand the heat are cold sterilized.

  • All our sterilizer machines are monitored for sterilization effectiveness with weekly spore tests, that are sent to UCLA.

  • As a second check of sterilization effectiveness, all instruments are bagged with an indicator strip which tests for effective sterilization of each bag.

  • Cleaned instruments are kept in closed cabinets after sterilization.

  • We use Blue (sterilized) and Red (contaminated) lighted cabinets to identify sterilized and unsterilized areas of the sterilization room - particularly useful when fill-in or temporary staff help at the office.

  • The water supply lines used at the dental chairs are purged and cleaned daily and are completely separate from the city water supply. This prevents biofilm accumulation in the water lines.

  • We make extensive use of plastic barriers at the dental chairs to aid in effective cleaning of the chairs.

  • Our staff is regularly trained and retrained in infection control - in fact we do this yearly in the Spring. Regulations require this every two years. New employees that work in the back office are trained in sterilization immediately, if they have not come from a dental training program where this was taught.

  • We have a professional cleaning service do deep cleaning of the office each weekend. Our sterilization and cleaning person, Tarin, does the daily cleaning chores with the assistance of the other staff members and Dr. Feather.
