COVID-19 has been a very difficult time for all of us. Many of you have been forced to wait for dental care, and we deeply appreciate your understanding while we kept our office closed to help control the spread of the coronavirus.
We are happy to say that we have reopened our office for patient treatment. Our hours of operation are: Monday 9am-5pm; Tuesday 8am-7pm; Wednesday 8am-5pm; Thursday 7am-1pm
Your health and well-being continue to be our highest priority, and we have carefully planned and revised our office procedures to greatly minimize the risk of infection for our patients and our team members.
For your peace of mind, the measures we will be taking to provide a safe dental treatment experience include, but are not limited to, the following:
Upon Your Arrival at the Office
Patients will be screened and temperatures will be checked. Any patients showing signs of a fever or other symptoms of illness will be asked to reschedule their appointment.
Masks will be provided to patients who don’t have one upon entering the office. If you have a mask we ask you wear it into the office and remove when asked by our clinical team.
Parents and other family members will be asked to wait outside whenever possible. We would ask that only the patient comes into the office.
The waiting area chairs will be spaced to allow for 6 feet of distancing.
We will ask that you continue to practice social distancing measures in common areas of the office, including the front desk.
The front door and the door between the waiting area and operatories will be propped open all day.
There will be no physical contact with patients with the exception of treatment.
Please bring your own pen to your appointment to complete the required COVID-19 forms.
All chairs in the reception area will be wiped down.
During Treatment
All rooms will be COMPLETELY sterilized before each patient is seated, and public areas, including restrooms, will be cleaned and sterilized frequently throughout the day.
Our team will STRICTLY follow guidelines set forth by the CDC, OSHA, and ADA® in regard to personal protective equipment (PPE) and office sterilization.
During patient care, goggles or face shields will be worn by everyone and changed between patients.
All surfaces that came in contact with the patient will be wiped with disinfectant including the patient chair and the accessory chair where the patient placed their personal items and/or coat hanger.
Checking Out After Your Appointment
After every transaction, the checkout desk will be wiped with a disinfectant.
If you don’t bring your own pen, our pens will be disinfected after each use.
We are proceeding with an abundance of caution, but we want you to feel as confident as we do that any visit you make to our office will be a safe one.
If you have additional questions, please call our office at 952-894-2545
We look forward to seeing you soon!
