Enhanced Safety Measures

Sanitization and Disinfection: We have implemented rigorous sanitization and disinfection protocols throughout our dental practice. All surfaces, equipment, and instruments are regularly cleaned and disinfected following the recommended guidelines.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Our dental team wears appropriate personal protective equipment, including masks, gloves, and face shields, to ensure their safety and the safety of our patients.
Patient Screening: Before your appointment, we will conduct a pre-screening to assess your health and any potential exposure to COVID-19. This may include asking you a series of questions related to symptoms and recent travel.
Waiting Area Safety: We have modified our waiting area to facilitate social distancing. We may ask you to wait in your vehicle until your scheduled appointment time to minimize the number of people in the reception area.
Hand Hygiene: Hand sanitizing stations are available throughout our practice, and we encourage all patients to practice proper hand hygiene by washing their hands or using hand sanitizer upon arrival and departure.
Respiratory Etiquette: We kindly request that patients cover their mouths and noses with a tissue or their elbow when coughing or sneezing. Proper disposal of tissues is important to maintain a clean and safe environment.
Limited Accompaniment: To minimize the number of individuals in our practice, we kindly request that patients come alone to their appointments unless they require assistance or are minors. Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
