Sterilisation

At Meares Dental, your safety is our highest priority. We follow internationally recognised standards for cross-infection control and maintain strict protocols across every aspect of instrument cleaning, sterilisation, and surgery preparation.

We continuously monitor the performance of our sterilisation equipment using validated tests and cycle tracking, ensuring every step meets industry benchmarks. This commitment to meticulous hygiene allows us to deliver dental care in an environment that is safe, reassuring, and fully compliant with best practice guidance. Our protocols include:

  • 4-part instrument cleaning and sterilisation in our dedicated sterilisation room

  • Use of high level surface disinfectants
  • Zoning of all four dental surgeries

  • Modern vacuum autoclave

  • Use of disposables wherever possible
  • Tracking of the sterilisation cycle
  • To check if the instruments are 100 percent sterilized we use the best practice tests such as the Bowie-Dick test

These measures reflect the high standards we set for ourselves and the trust our patients place in us. By combining modern technology with disciplined routines, we create a clinical environment where your comfort and safety always come first.
