Surgically Clean Air for our patients

Book a consultation

It's a matter of life and breath: Downtown Dental is the first dental practice in the southeast to invest in Surgically Clean Air purification system for patient care

Hospitals, Medical Labs, Dental Clinics and Surgery Centers throughout North America are using Surgically Clean Air Purifiers to improve the quality of their Indoor Air for their Patients and their Staff.  These world-class medical-grade air purifiers remove Chemicals, Toxins, Germs, Odors, and most importantly they kill airborne Viruses, to help reduce the spread of illness.

DENTAL OFFICE AIR QUALITY: WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WILL HARM YOU

Dental offices are high traffic spaces: our regular, daily interactions with patients can introduce bacterial, viral, and fungal infections into the air. The indoor air within dental offices contains unhealthy and often infectious airborne pollutants. The ultrasonic instruments we use, along with the constant cleaning and disinfection of contact surfaces can create bio-aerosols that can contaminate the indoor air and increase the unhealthiness of the dental office. These pathogens can stay airborne for hours, even days.

WHAT SETS SURGICALLY CLEAN AIR APART?

The system doesn't just filter pollutants, germs, and other damaging toxins: it destroys them.

Dental procedures inadvertently generate aerosols, containing organisms and debris from each patient’s oral activity, and these can be harmful to everyone present in the clinic…. air filters result in the significant reduction of viable particles in the air. Hazardous bioaerosols created during dental procedures can be significantly reduced using an air cleaning system.

6 STAGE FILTRATION & STERILIZATION PROCESS

The purification system incorporates six (6) distinct stages that remove particles including Odors, Gases, Mold, Allergens, and Viruses.

BOTTOM LINE: HEALTHIER AIR, HEALTHIER PATIENTS + STAFF

Microbial air pollution is a real health issue and this is where technology helps makes us a better, healthier practice. Air purification systems can play a role in significantly reducing transmittable bio-aerosols.

We invested in a Surgically Clean Air system because we believe that paying attention to the quality and purity of the air in our office creates a win/win situation for our patients and team members. Learn more about what Surgically Clean Air is doing for other practices HERE.

Restorative & Missing Teeth Replacement 

  • Conservative Cavity Care: Small, tooth-colored fillings that remove as little enamel as possible so your teeth last longer.
  • Inlays & Onlays First: Bonded inlays/onlays as our go-to over crowns, preserving far more natural tooth structure.
  • Enamel-Sparing Crowns: When crowns are truly needed, we design them to leave up to 50% more natural enamel than typical approaches.
  • Save-Your-Teeth Reconstruction: In severe wear or erosion, we rebuild and stabilize teeth that many offices would extract for full-arch implants, often avoiding full-mouth removal.
  • Full-Arch Implants When Needed: All-on-X-style implant solutions for cases that genuinely require extractions-never a one-size-fits-all default.
  • Bite-Tuned, Long-Lasting Results: Every restoration is calibrated to your bite to reduce fractures and the cycle of redoing dentistry every few years.

Bite, TMJ & Myofunction

  • Digital Bite Mapping & Calibration: Measure contacts and timing to stop chips, cracks, and “high” crowns.
  • Custom Day/Night Appliances: Designed to your ideal joint/muscle balance (beyond generic guards).
  • Myofunctional Therapy: Retrain tongue, lips, and breathing to reduce clenching, improve stability, and lower cavity/gum risk.
  • TMJ Care (Non-Surgical): Joint, muscles, teeth, airway/sleep, and posture considered together.

Airway, Sleep & Myofunction

  • Screening for Mouth-Breathing/Apnea: Identify sleep contributors to inflammation, decay, and grinding.

Orthodontics & Alignment (Adults & Teens)

  • Clear Aligners/Orthodontics: Improve alignment and function, timed to health and airway needs.
  • Relapse & Retention Planning: Stabilize muscles and bite so results last.

Kids & Growing Smiles

  • Early Growth & Airway Evaluation — Age-appropriate screening for nasal breathing, tongue posture, crowding, and sleep-related issues.
  • Myofunctional Support (Early Intervention) — Train healthy habits (nasal breathing, tongue posture, lip seal, chewing/swallow) to guide growth and reduce future problems.
  • Guided Orthodontics — When needed, we time orthodontic treatment to growth to expand space, correct crowding, and help them catch up if development is behind.
  • One Team, Clear Roadmap — We coordinate with parents on what to do now, what to watch, and when to act next.

Cosmetic & Facial Aesthetics

  • Prepless, conservative veneers: Transform your smile while preserving your natural enamel whenever possible.
  • Facially driven smile design & previews: Plan your smile around your face, lips, and profile-and use digital mockups/temporaries to try out your new look before anything is permanent.
  • Non-surgical "dental facelift": Improve facial support, fullness, and symmetry through thoughtful changes in bite and tooth position.
  • Additive cosmetic bonding: Repair chips and reshape worn edges without aggressive drilling.
