COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS PRACTICE UPDATE

Safely Opening To Serve You

Welcome Back

We’ve missed you and it’s finally time to start making appointments again.

Your Safety is Our Priority

Safety is our primary concern – for you, your loved ones, our families, our team, and our community. We genuinely care for those we serve and those we serve alongside.

You may have noticed several safety and infection control procedures we already had in place prior to the current pandemic. We always stay up-to-date with and follow all recommendations from the American Dental Association (ADA0, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Existing Safety Procedures

We have always employed extensive measures to protect our patients and our team from the spread of infections.

• We meticulously follow all relevant guidelines for disinfection of patient areas.
• We ensure sterilization of instruments.
• We treat surfaces with disinfectants that kill all viruses and bacteria.
• We autoclave dental instruments to eliminate all viruses and bacteria.
• We use disposable, single-use supplies when applicable.
• We consistently take "universal precautions” to provide a safe environment.

Enhanced Safety Procedures for COVID-19

In addition to our existing safety procedures, we have added the following enhanced safety procedures to protect our patients and our team.

Appointments

• We will communicate with all patients before their appointment to ask screening questions. You’ll be asked the same screening questions when you arrive for your appointment.
• We’ll ask you to use our readily available hand sanitizer when you arrive.
• We'll manage appointments to maintain social distancing between patients, meaning fewer scheduling options may be available.
• We are scheduling more time between patients to reduce waiting time and the number of patients in the waiting area.
• We are scheduling senior citizens and patients with pre-existing conditions during a special time block.

We’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about our new safety procedures, appointment process, or treatment options.
