At Oraa Care Smile Dental Clinic in Dwarka, your safety is our top priority. We follow strict sterilization protocols to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and infection control. Every instrument, surface, and procedure is handled with extreme care to ensure a clean, safe, and trustworthy environment for every patient.
Why Sterilization Matters in Dentistry
Dental treatments involve close contact with oral tissues, instruments, and fluids. Without proper sterilization, cross-contamination and infection risks can rise. That’s why we invest in world-class sterilization procedures—giving you peace of mind during every visit.
Our 7-Step Sterilization Protocol
We adhere to a detailed, multi-step protocol to ensure instruments and equipment are 100% safe for use:
i) Initial Cleaning
All used instruments are first rinsed and scrubbed to remove visible debris and contaminants.
ii) Ultrasonic Cleaning
Instruments are placed in an ultrasonic cleaner that uses sound waves and solution to remove fine particles.
iii) Drying and Inspection
Instruments are dried and visually inspected to ensure complete cleanliness before sterilization.
iv) Packaging
Each instrument is packed in sterilization pouches with indicator strips to monitor sterility.
v) Autoclaving
121–134°C. This process eliminates bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
vi) Storage in Sterile Conditions
Sterilized instruments are stored in sealed cabinets until use, ensuring they remain contamination-free.
vii) Regular Validation & Testing
We perform biological indicator tests and chemical strip testing to regularly validate our sterilization effectiveness.
Disposable & Single-Use Protocols
Items like gloves, suction tips, masks, injection needles, and cotton are strictly single-use.
These are disposed of immediately after each patient to eliminate any risk of cross-infection.
Surface Disinfection & Air Quality
Dental chairs, lights, handles, and surfaces are sanitized with medical-grade disinfectants between every patient.
Our clinic is equipped with HEPA air purifiers to maintain high indoor air quality.
We also use UV sterilization for added disinfection in treatment zones.
