Our mission is always to provide you dental care in a safe and comfortable environment. We are currently accepting patients for all dental services. Please call us, or book online to schedule your next appointment.
We will be scheduling fewer appointments than normal, and have fewer staff in the office at the same time to enhance physical distancing measures.
We are taking the following precautions to ensure your visit is a safe one.
Our staff:
• Check their temperature daily to ensure they do not have a fever
• Are screened daily for COVID-19 symptoms
• Are required to perform a 14-day quarantine for showing any signs of fever, cough, and trouble breathing
• All of our staff members have upgraded their protective gear. This includes appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for all appointments
For every patient, we:
• Perform a risk assessment, in advance of the appointment and upon arrival at the clinic, to ensure they are feeling well. Patients who are under the weather are rescheduled
• Check their temperature upon arrival to ensure they do not have a fever
• Provide hand sanitizer and masks
• Provide an anti-viral/anti-bacterial mouth rinse for all patients before any treatment
• Observe meticulous hand hygiene practices before putting on gloves and after taking them off
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during the appointment and all interactions with patients
Between patient visits, we:
• Clean, disinfect, and sterilize all instruments
• Wipe all operatory surfaces with disinfectant, including:
Patient chairs and bases
Tray table and arm
Countertops and items on countertops
Floors
Light handles, tubing, motors and all other objects and touch surfaces
In our operatories/patient rooms we:

• Allow for mandated time in between patients to ensure all COVID-19 aerosols have been neutralized

In the reception/waiting area, we:
