Covid-19 Update:

While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to the safety of our patients, their families and our Team.  We want to let you know how we plan to address these challenges as we try and resume ‘business as usual’ and how much we are looking forward to seeing our patient’s beautiful smiles again … SOON!!!!  

Safety has always been our top priority but we will be adding some things to our ‘new normal’ routines that we want to share with you as we move forward which follow recommendations given by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and ADA (American Dental Assoc.) plus give an update on what things you can expect from us at your next visit.

We will continue to wear masks and gloves but will be adding face shields and disposable gowns for appointments that create aerosol such as debands and bonding.  During those appointments we will also continue to provide our patient with eye protection and for now we plan to only have one patient in the treatment area while performing these procedures.  Please rest assured that most of our procedures do not produce aerosol and are not putting those around them at risk but for an extra safety attempt we have also purchased air purifiers to help keep air clean as we go.

Here is a list of changes that have been made to prepare for your next appointment:

• Please brush your teeth before arriving at the office.  The brushing station will be closed for the time being, but you will be asked to rinse with oral peroxide mouthwash (provided by us).
• You will have received a text message prior to your appointment asking you to text back when you arrive.  Please remain in your car until we text you back that we are ready for you to come in for your appointment.
• Patients will be asked to wear a mask in the office which will be removed only during the appointment.
• You will be greeted in the lobby by a team member where you will have your temperature taken and asked a few general questions to complete our wellness screening.  Hand sanitizer will also be provided. 
• Social distancing will be practiced to the best of our ability and we just ask for your help if you are in the lobby with other patients in maintaining this distance as well.
• We respectfully ask that only the patient come in for their appointment. If a parent would like to escort their child then only one parent will be allowed and will also be subject to full check-in protocol. 
• We are limiting the use of the restroom to ‘emergency only’
• A team member will accompany patient out to your car and share with you what was performed and any changes that are needed (elastic wear, oral hygiene, etc.)
• We will try to schedule the next appointment via phone or text message with the parent while patient is in the office and/or in office for adult patients making their own appointments while practicing our social distancing.
• We will also be omitting the coffee bar, water bottle service, toys and magazines available in the waiting area for the time being as they are difficult to clean and disinfect. 
• Please DO NOT come to your appointment if you are feeling sick,  been around someone sick or have traveled in past 2 weeks.

We miss everyone and look forward to seeing you soon.  We will be reaching out to schedule and re-arrange appointments so we can get everyone ‘back on track’ as soon as possible.   We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we want to maintain as much normalcy as possible while still trying to stay safe and healthy.  If you feel that there is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed, please call us and we will do our best to accommodate you!
