Our Clean Practices
At Orlando Holistic Dental Studio, we work daily to keep the office sparkling and safe. Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control — you, your dentist, and the dental team.
Communication also is key when it comes to keeping it clean.
The cornerstone of a good and safe dental practice is trust. If you have questions or concerns about our procedures, just ask. You should feel free to discuss this topic with Dr. Cuprill and expect straightforward answers.

- Disinfectant hand soap.
- Gloves and face masks.
- Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces.
- Sterilization of all reusable equipment, including dental handpieces, before every use.
- Use of an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat, and pressure.
