As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, you may notice some changes necessary to accommodate our enhanced infection control protocols, such as longer appointments and increased intervals between appointments.  While our clinical staff will remain masked during patient interactions, face masks are welcomed but not required for patients and guests.

We are monitoring the situation closely and implementing guidance from regulatory and health authorities to ensure the health and safety of our patients, staff, and community.

Because of the nature of our work, dentistry has always included a focus on infection control, minimizing the risk that infectious diseases could be passed between patients, providers, and staff. We have always worn disposable gloves and surgical masks, washed our hands between patients, utilized single-use items when possible, treated reusable tools with chemical or high-pressure steam sterilization after each use, applied disposable barriers to high-touch surfaces, and disinfected operatory surfaces including chairs, counters, and equipment between patients. Maintenance and testing protocols are rigorously followed to ensure proper operation of sterilization equipment.

As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and more information is revealed about how spread can be prevented, you may notice we have implemented additional protocols and equipment in order to protect our staff, our patients, and our community by minimizing the risk of transmission.
