Following the highest safety and hygiene standards for over 24 years
We are the first Slow Dentistry Global Network® certified clinic in Portugal, a work philosophy founded by our Clinical Director, Dr. Miguel Stanley, that guarantees the maximum protection and safety for our patients and our team.
For you, for us.
We are ruthless when it comes to hygiene
Medical offices, equipment, doors, surfaces, floor, footwear, clothing, air. Everything is disinfected several times a day, regardless of how long it may take. This is Slow Dentistry. This is how we guarantee your safety. We have worked this way for 24 years.
We regularly clean all surfaces and floors in non-clinical areas. Doorknobs and bathrooms are also cleaned with an antiviral, antifungal and anti-bactericidal detergent. Cleaning is always done from top to bottom – first the higher surfaces and then the floor.
The entire technical and non-technical team washes their hands regularly, for at least 20 seconds, after each break and at regular intervals throughout the day.
We have an area that is exclusively reserved for the circulation of personnel from the clinic’s technical team, done only with appropriate clothing and footwear. Technical clothing and footwear are not worn outside the clinical facilities. A specific hand sanitiser is available at the entrance of the clinic, as well as in every office, reception, bathroom and technical room.
All packages are cleaned and disinfected before being transported to the “clean” area – both the box and its contents.
Every room is regularly ventilated and we use disinfectant air fresheners between appointments to purify and disinfect the air. We have multiple hospital-grade Swiss HEPA filters to filter the air in the reception area and in the treatment rooms. Air circulation and air conditioning filters are renewed and sanitised regularly.
Each office is properly cleaned and disinfected between dental appointments, according to hygiene and safety recommendations. Once applied, we let the products sit for at least 10 minutes, in order to ensure their bactericidal, fungicidal and antiviral effects.
The clinical team uses disposable gowns and caps, glasses, protective visors and masks during all treatments. Personal protective equipment is also available for patients before entering the treatment area and will be safely disposed of after use.
All procedures that generate aerosols have a highly efficient aspiration ensured by the assisting team, as well as high-powered Swiss HEPA filters. This way, we can guarantee the maximum reduction of aerosols dissipated during procedures, such as scaling and restorations, among others. The rubber dam is crucial for all dental procedures where its use is possible. We consistently uphold and practice non-toxic dentistry.
We are an EMF certified clinic: which means we are equipped with technology that promotes effective protection against electromagnetic radiation emitted by devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, Wi-Fi routers and others. Electromagnetic radiation can compromise post-op recovery and healing – we ensure that your health and wellbeing are protected as soon as you walk into the clinic.
For the past two decades we have made a point to see fewer patients per day, so that we can focus not only on extraordinary dentistry, but on safety as well.
Avoid wearing excessive accessories (jewellery, for example).
We recommend a shower before dental appointments.
If you are ill, avoid going to the clinic. Please call to inform and reschedule your appointment.
Follow any post-appointment instructions provided.
