Health Safety Protocols
Surprise, AZ

To Our Valued Patients at Surprise Smiles,

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

Specific to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) we have added in additional precautionary and cleaning measures including:
• 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!

Most Common Reason to Treat Dental Imperfections

Posted on 3/20/2019 by Dr. Andrew Zeiger

No smile is naturally perfect, but the good news is that if you aren't happy with some of your smile imperfections, you don't have to live with them. You can take steps to improve your teeth in order to achieve the smile of your dreams. These are a few of the most common reasons to treat dental imperfections.

Enjoy a More Beautiful Smile
The most common reason that people want to treat dental imperfections is for cosmetic purposes. This really shouldn't come as a surprise. We all want a beautiful, white smile that we feel proud of, and some simple cosmetic procedures can make dramatic improvements.

Improved Confidence
With a beautiful smile often comes confidence. A great smile can make a major difference in how you see yourself, and you'll make a good impression when you meet new people. When you are no longer concerned about the imperfections in your mouth, you'll even find yourself smiling more. Ultimately, this release of endorphins in your brain will make you feel happier, while your smiling face will also make the people around you happy.

Teeth Are Easier to Clean

When your teeth are chipped, crooked, or otherwise misaligned, they are more difficult to clean. It can be hard to get your brush wedged into tight spaces or to properly floss between gaps, so treating these dental imperfections can help. Ultimately, when you are able to clean your teeth well, your mouth will be healthier.

Eliminate Jaw Pain

Did you know that crooked teeth can actually cause your jaw to hurt? Even slightly crooked teeth alter the balance of your jaw, placing excess stress onto the temporomandiublar joint. You may notice jaw pain or even headaches as a result.

Regardless of why you want to treat your dental imperfections, we are here to help. Call us today to get started.
