COVID-19 Updates
As of June 11, 2020, we are excited to welcome you back with new policies and protocols designed to keep you safe and comfortable in our office. Change is always challenging, but our main concern is your health and safety. We are happy to address any additional questions or concerns surrounding your dental care in these times. Please call our office or send us an email for more information.
Staff and Doctors
All staff have received their COVID-19 vaccines. Throughout the day, staff don the appropriate personal protective equipment, head coverings, gowns, masks, face shields, and gloves.
Before Your Visit
To minimize your time in the office, our staff will communicate with you days in advance to conduct a general health screening. These same questions will be asked of you at your appointment time.
Please email us in advance regarding any new changes to your insurance.
During Your Visit
We will ask that you wear a mask when you come to your appointment.
To protect you and your fellow patients we will kindly request that all patients come unaccompanied to their appointments unless there is an expressed need for an aide or other companion.
In order to maintain safe social distancing practices, we ask that you call us from the parking lot or building lobby when you have arrived. We will notify you when we are ready for you to come up to the office. We will take your temperature upon entering the office.
We have sanitizer throughout the office for your use. We will ask you to use it when you enter the office.
Once you are in the dental chair we will measure your oxygen levels and ask you to pre-rinse prior to dental procedures.
After your treatment is complete, we will ask you to remain in the treatment room where, if required, we will schedule your next appointment. At the end of your visit, we will help direct you out of the office to maintain social distancing.
New Office Safety Measures
Air filtration units utilizing non-chemical UV-C technology have been installed in every procedure room, powerful enough to destroy germs and viruses on contact.
Protocols for cleaning and disinfecting dental units, chairs, x-rays units, counter tops, waiting room chairs, door handles, bathrooms, etc. have been thoroughly implemented.
We use eco-friendly, antiviral, electrolyzed water solution that can be used as a fog to eliminate airborne pathogens. The solution breaks into salt water after use and poses no environmental or personal risk.
We have installed brand new ADS extra-oral dental suction units to capture most of the aerosol during hygiene procedures.
