Our patients’ oral health is our number one priority and although you may fear to return, it is essential to keep up with your periodic hygiene appointments and any post-operative appointments as well as to schedule any pending treatment.
Patients will be asked to stay in their vehicles after check-in as a virtual waiting room to maintain social distancing.
Upon arrival, every patient’s temperature will be taken and hand sanitizer and gloves will be provided.
Our staff, doctors, hygienists, and dental assistants, will follow the Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions for personal protective equipment including gloves, gowns, and protective eyewear.
Once the patient exits the room, full surface disinfection will be conducted while the staff continues to wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
