Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates:
We are now open for all in-office dental procedures. Please contact us to schedule your appointment.
In addition to our normal health and safety protocols, we have also added the following:
- A new extraoral suction system that removes aerosols from the patient's mouth during the procedure and runs the air through multiple filters including a microbe killing UV filter. This reduces the risk of potential airborne pathogens from floating in the treatment room.
- Temperature checks in the downstairs lobby
- Distanced chairs in our waiting room
- Physical barriers wherever possible
- Increased PPE, surface protection, and surface disinfection
- Greater time between appointments to allow for less waiting room time, more thorough sanitization of surfaces in the treatment room, and to accommodate the increased time needed for the donning of extra PPE
- Every patient is contacted to screen their health and travel history according to ADA guidelines before they come to the office
- We have air purifiers with HEPA filters that claim to help remove the COVID-19 airbourne virus
- There is plenty of hand sanitizer in the lobby and every floor of the building
We are committed to your health and safety, and we follow disinfection and social distancing protocols set by the CDC, ADA, and our local agencies. We look forward to seeing you.
