At Dedicated Smiles, your health, safety, and comfort are our highest priorities—especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. El-Masry and our team are committed to following the COVID-19 safety guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Dental Association® (ADA).
To ensure a safe and protected environment for every patient, our office has implemented the following enhanced safety protocols:
We’ve installed Plasma Air bipolar ionization technology in our HVAC system to proactively purify indoor air at the source of contamination. Similar to how sunlight creates a natural bio-climate, this technology produces positive and negative oxygen ions that neutralize bacteria, virus cells, odors, particulate matter, and VOCs.

To enhance air quality further, AirDoctor stand-alone purifiers are placed in our reception area and treatment suites. Equipped with UltraHEPA Filters, these purifiers are 100x more effective than standard HEPA filters and capture 99.99% of ultra-fine airborne particles, ensuring a safe, clean environment for your care.

We’ve strategically placed clear barriers made of hard plastic at key locations throughout our practice. These barriers are cleaned regularly to effectively block airborne particles and enhance your safety during your visit.
Our team wears protective wear to ensure your safety during every procedure. This added layer of protection minimizes the risk of cross-contamination while maintaining the comfort and professionalism you expect.
We follow CDC-approved sterilization protocols for all instruments and equipment used in patient care. This has always been our standard practice to ensure every tool is thoroughly cleaned and safe for use.
We perform comprehensive room cleaning after every patient visit. Utilizing hospital-grade disinfectants as recommended by the CDC, we meticulously disinfect treatment rooms and common areas to maintain the highest level of cleanliness and safety.
Hand sanitizing stations are conveniently located throughout our office for patient and staff use. Additionally, we practice proper hand-washing protocols to maintain a hygienic environment.
To promote social distancing, we are limiting the number of patients seen at one time. This ensures a safe and comfortable environment for all visitors.
We’ve introduced a virtual waiting room to streamline your visit. Complete your online forms through our website, and upon arrival, call or text us. We kindly ask that you remain in your car until you are invited to enter. Online appointment reminders and confirmations are also being utilized to simplify scheduling and enhance your experience.
You will be asked to complete a pre-visit COVID-19 questionnaire and a thorough medical history review. Every patient’s temperature will be taken upon entering our dental office.
As always, your dental care is our top priority. We are here to address any questions you may have about your appointment and the safety protocols in place to ensure a safe and positive experience with our dentist and team.
