We are happy to announce that our office is now open and treating all patients, including those with routine dental care appointments.
We want to assure you that we are taking specific measures in addition to our thorough infection control procedures in order to keep you, our dental team, and our community safe from the spread of COVID-19.
We’re not interested in meeting guidelines, we’re driven by the need to exceed them because we know that you and your health are worth the extra effort.
That’s why we utilize Molekule Air Filtration throughout our office. Molekule destroys airborne pollutants by utilizing Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO) technology. Oral health is a crucial component to your overall wellbeing, and that includes the air you breathe.
Protocols for Your Safety:
- Our office and our dental team are fully compliant with the guidelines from the CDC and the American Dental Association.
- When you arrive for your appointment, we request that you call us from the parking lot and we will let you know when we are ready to receive you.
- When you arrive for your appointment, we will be taking your temperature with an infra-red touchless thermometer.
- Anyone presenting with an elevated temperature (over 100*F) will not be seen.
- Please use the hand sanitizer offered to you.
- Please wear a face mask when not being treated. We will provide this for you if you do not have your own.
- Please advise us if you or anyone you live with has had an upper respiratory illness or fever in the past two weeks.
- The reception area and countertops are frequently cleaned, and magazines and non-cleansable decorations have been removed.
- To minimize people in the reception area, anyone accompanying you should wait in the building lobby or in their car, and provide us with their cell phone number.
