Your Dream Team for Beautiful Smiles and Faces

Your Dream Team for Beautiful Smiles and Faces

Dear Patients,

We miss you and hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the past few months and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice, and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our office follows the infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDV) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up to date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

You will see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

  • Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You will be asked those same questions again when you are in the office
  • We will require face coverings while in the reception area and touchless thermometer temperatures will be taken when entering.
  • We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places for your use as needed.
  • You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean you are offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
  • We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception and treatment areas at any one time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, our staff, and every patient safe in our practice. To make an appointment,

Sincerely,


Our goal, as always, is to provide our patients and our team with a safe, comfortable dental home.

In addition to the strict infection control guidelines we have always followed, we have also made some renovations and additions to our office to make your visit more safe and comfortable.

We look forward to seeing your smile.
