If you have dental implants make sure you are flossing around it correctly. To removed excess bacteria, plaque and debris from dental implants, pull the floss inwards towards the post of the implant and use a back and forth sawing motion instead of an up and down movement.

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).
