IQAir HealthProPlus HyperHEPA Air Filtration

Jan 02, 2022

As soon as the COVID-19 crisis unfolded, we immediately imported medical-grade IQAir HyperHEPA HealthProPlus Mobile Negative Pressure and Directed Filtration Suction units from Switzerland. For COVID-19 as well as any other viral, bacterial or fungal pathogen, these units control, contain, and eliminate aerosol risk.

This Swiss-made device is the game-changer for all, and very few dental offices have been able to secure them. These units utilize the highest level of medical-grade Hyper HEPA filter available (which IQAir invented).

These specially designed units were initially developed and designed for hospital use and were used extensively and successfully in dealing with the 2003 SARS viral epidemic. We are fortunate to be one of the few offices in San Diego to have acquired these unique directed extra-oral air filtration systems.

The IQAir HyperHEPA HealthProPlus Air Filtration System filters fine and ultra-fine particles down to a size of 0.003 microns, which is 100 times smaller than the typical True HEPA filter and 40 times smaller than the size of viruses. (COVID-19 is 0.12 microns). The filtration capability is far superior to typical (non-hyper level) HEPA filters, which are certified o filter particles larger than 0.3 microns.

An IQAir HealthProPlus unit sits aside each dental chair and has a large articulating arm that is placed near the patient’s mouth and captures and filters all aerosols. That means the unit will capture any viral (COVID-19), bacterial or fungal pathogens. These units are in continuous use throughout the entire day, further ensuring that our air is continually cleansed of any contaminants. The IQAir Purifying units completely purify the air in each operatory every 9 minutes. That’s 6 times per hour the air in the room is completely cleaned.

How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last

18 Apr, 2024

Understanding Teeth Whitening The Basics of Teeth Whitening Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the natural color of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surfaces. It can significantly enhance the brightness of your smile, making it a popular choice for many seeking a confidence boost. Teeth whitening Rancho Bernardo clinics often emphasize that while the procedure does not make the teeth brilliant white, it can lighten the existing color by several shades. The key to effective teeth whitening lies in the active ingredients used, which typically include hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These chemicals break down, allowing oxygen to enter the enamel and dentin, thus lightening the tooth color. Here's a brief overview of what the process involves: Consultation with a dental professional Assessment of teeth and oral health Selection of the appropriate whitening method Application of the whitening product Follow-up and maintenance advice Remember, the longevity of teeth whitening results can vary based on individual factors, but with proper care, you can enjoy a brighter smile for an extended period.
