Infection Control
Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control — you, your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with Dr. Colson and receive a straightforward answer.
Dr. Colson and our entire team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:
- Disinfectant hand soap
- Gloves and face masks
- Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
- Sterilization of all equipment before every use
- Disposable materials
We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental hand pieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.
The best defense against disease is information. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your health care. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Don't just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
Top notch staff provides excellent service, state of the art facilities, every dental chair equipped with adjustable monitors to watch newly released movies while your work is being completed. I never thought going to the dentist could be enjoyable until Dr. Colson started taking care if my smile. My trusted dentist since I moved to Raleigh 8 years ago.
I can't stand visiting doctors or dentists. Luckily Colson had a very friendly staff, they were very professional, and made my visit much much better than I was anticipating!
