We always welcome new patients

Please read our new office policies regarding COVID-19

Next time you see us, you will notice that there are changes to your dental visit.


The following new protocols will be implemented:


For your visit:

  • Scattered scheduling:  Patient appointments will be scattered to allow for proper disinfecting and social distancing prior to the next patient entry.
  • Modified Patient Check-In:  Please CALL UPON ARRIVAL from your car or the lobby. We will then send you an electronic COVID-19 screening form. Once received, we will call you to come into the office.
  • Limitations on companions: ONLY PATIENTS ARE ALLOWED within the office. Family members/friends must remain outside. The only exception is a minor/child patient who may have one parent/guardian remain with them during the visit.
  • MASK/FACE COVERING REQUIRED before you enter our office and must be worn at all times except when we are working in your mouth.
  • Hand sanitizer: We will provide you with sanitizer to be used as soon as you enter.
  • Temperature checks: All patients will be checked for fever with our touch-less thermometer.

Our Team:

  • Daily temperature check of team members at the beginning of the day.
  • Full personal protective equipment (PPE) for all clinical team members, including face shields, masks, safety goggles, disposable gowns and surgical caps.
  • Ongoing training on CDC, OSHA, ADA recommendations and protocols to remain current on compliance.

Facility:

  • Disinfection: Thorough disinfection of all surfaces before the next patient may enter the office.
  • Clean Air Systems: Medical grade HEPA and UV-C air purifying units positioned throughout the office to help cleanse the air and diminish aerosols.
  • Partition at the reception desk: A sneeze guard has been installed at the front desk to protect both patients and staff.
  • Writing pen: Patients may bring a pen if they wish or use ours to keep.
  • Touch-less documents and payment processing: If necessary, payment can be done over the phone or with a card on file.

We truly appreciate your understanding and patience during this unusual time!
