Our office is equipped with IQAir dental air purifiers that filter even the smallest and most harmful of airborne particles, including aerosols from high-speed dental procedures and tiny ultrafine particles such as viruses. IQAir's HyperHEPA filtration is tested and certified by an independent third-party lab to effectively filter 99.5% of harmful ultrafine particles down to 0.003 microns in size - the smallest particles that exist. IQAir filtration technology is achieved using only safe, proven, mechanical filtration technology, without generating dangerous ions, ozone, or UV. Our office also utilizes the IQAir extraoral suction system during dental restorative procedures. This system is designed to remove aerosols, abrasion powder, and mercury vapors during dental procedures. In addition, our office utilizes the Isolite Mouthpiece system as an intraoral suction device to reduce aerosols. Please click here to learn more.
