HEPA Air Purifiers
HEPA Air Purifiers
Cedar Creek Dental uses true HEPA filtration in the operatory to help clear airborne particulate that can be generated during dental procedures. HEPA filters are designed to capture very fine particles from the air, and many dental offices use them as one part of a broader approach to maintaining a clean treatment environment.
How It Fits Into Your Visit
- Continuous Filtration — The purifiers run between and during appointments, so the air in the operatory is being filtered throughout your visit.
- Paired With Other Measures — High-powered suction is also used chairside to capture aerosol at the source, working alongside the room's air filtration.
What Patients Should Know
- Not a Replacement for Sterilization — Air purification addresses airborne particulate; instrument sterilization and surface disinfection are handled separately.
- No Change to Your Appointment — The units operate quietly in the background, so treatment proceeds the same way it always has.
- Comfort Options Available — If sound is a concern during your visit, noise-canceling headphones are also available on-site.
