Health Safety Protocols

Welcome! We are open, looking forward to seeing returning patients, accepting new patients, and operating under normal business hours! The Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDS) is still not recommending any type of closures or modification in hours. We will continue to monitor information coming from both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and AZDHS and keep you apprised of any changes or updates. We will stay on top of this information and bring it to you as soon as possible through our website, email, and social media.

As we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, our dentists and dental team want to assure you that we are continuing to do our best to make sure it a priority that we are following the latest health and safety guidelines from the CDC, specifically as they relate to the dental industry. We value keeping our patients and staff members safe and comfortable.

As part of our daily standard health and safety protocols, our office follows ‘Universal Precautions’ in order to protect our patients and our staff. These are precautions we have always taken, and are not new. By taking ‘universal precautions’ means we always assume that anyone could potentially be carrying a contagious and dangerous disease. We therefore follow strict guidelines to prevent the transmission of any potential disease, be it COVID-19 (Coronavirus), hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV, or any other disease. This has been a standard of care we follow, per the CDC, in regard to blood borne pathogens.

These measures include:
•  strict hand washing protocols
•  use of (single use) disposable protective equipment and barriers
•  thorough disinfection of exposed or potentially exposed surfaces after every patient visit
•  disinfection and high-heat steam sterilization of instruments and routine monitoring of sterilization verification
•  continued education on infection control

•  disinfecting common surface areas every 30 minutes
•  providing hand sanitizer in common areas
•  screening everyone who enters our offices based on CDC recommendations
•  offering preprocedural mouth rinse

As state and national health and safety regulations change and evolve during these times, Surprise Smiles is dedicated to monitoring and evaluating our dental practice and office space for any potential risks as we serve our patients and community. We strive to maintain an approach to our dentistry services that is both safe and beneficial to everyone we serve.

We strive to provide a safe, healthy, comfortable, and relaxed environment for everyone that comes into our dental office. We follow the American Dental Association’s Update to Office Procedures During COVID-19 in regard to safe office procedures, workplace hazards, and making decisions for best office practices. We stay informed on recent information given to dentists in this regard, as well as keeping up to date with any changes recommended by the CDC.

Please let us know if you have any questions in regard to our health and safety protocols here at Surprise Smiles. We recognize that it can be challenging during these unprecedented times of COVID-19. We all want to get back to our normal lives, and we will be able to do so, in a safe, wise, and healthy manner. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have in regard to our dental practice health and safety protocols, cleaning, and disinfecting procedures we follow.

Thank you for continuing to be a valued patient here at Bradshaw Family Dental. We look forward to continuing to serve you and your dental needs through the various services we provide for you, from preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, pediatric dentistry, sedation dentistry, dental implants and more!

In-Office vs At Home Whitening: Why Professional Whitening Is Recommended?


Posted on 3/6/2023 by Candice
In-Office vs At Home Whitening: Why Professional Whitening Is Recommended?Many teeth whitening products are offering instant results for tooth stains. Nevertheless, you should be cautious of over-the-counter teeth-whitening treatments as they can damage your teeth and irritate gums. Here, we help you find out how an in-home whitening compares to a professional dental procedure.

In-Office teeth Whitening Procedure


Our dental team utilizes Zoom Teeth Whitening procedures for the best results. The treatment involves applying a bleaching solution on the teeth and ultraviolet lights to activate the compound. The Zoom Blue LED applicator, and the whitening gel, can be customized to your specifications. It eliminates tobacco, coffee, and wine stains instantaneously.

The whitening gel contains ACP, which stands for Amorphous Calcium Phosphate. It is a compound that strengthens the enamel. When used with additional fluoride treatments, the procedure minimizes the risk of tooth decay and limits tooth sensitivity.

In-home Whitening Process


There are several options for whitening teeth at home. Our dental practice offers custom trays, the most effective in-home treatment that is safe for your gums and teeth.

It starts with the dentist taking an impression of your teeth to tailor the trays to your specifications. The trays contain a bleaching agent that removes stains from the tooth.

The trays are tailored to cover only the enamel but not the gums. That way, they prevent gum irritation and inflammation.

Why Consider Professional Whitening?


An over-the-counter teeth-whitening treatment could be too strong for your teeth. You may experience tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. A professional whitening process begins with an evaluation of your teeth's condition and oral health history. The exam may identify dental issues that require treatment.

Additionally, the treatment tailors the strength of the whitening gel and ultraviolet light to your needs. It avoids gum irritation and enamel erosion, which often causes pain and discomfort. You can expect to walk out of the dentist's office with a brighter smile.

Contact our team to schedule a Zoom Teeth Whitening treatment to restore your smile and confidence.
