COVID-19 Safety Measures
To Our Valued Patients,
We are excited to let you know that we will be open and ready to care for the dental needs of you and your family effective June 1, 2020. Our team is ready to provide you with the quality dental care you have come to expect. While we are at the same office, we will have a new look.
With this in mind, we are happy to share the additional steps we are taking to make every visit to our office as safe as possible. These actions are incremental to our normal standards of care that meet or exceed all CDC, OSHA and ADA guidelines for dental practices.
As always, we welcome the opportunity to answer any of your questions and to address all concerns.
Virtual Waiting Room
- Virtual check-in from your car
- New online forms for you to fill out and submit prior to your appointment
- All electronic signatures
- Bring you directly back to treatment rooms
Pre-Screening of Every Patient
- Please come alone and wear a mask
- Use hand sanitizer when you enter the office
- Temperature scan
- COVID-19 questionnaire
Advanced Safety Equipment
- Peroxyl rinse in operatories prior to treatment
- Use of Vaniman Pure Breeze air scrubber and HEPA filtrations to clean and sanitize the air
- Doorway barriers to separate treatment rooms and hallway
- Use of PPE in accordance with OSHA, CDC, and PA Department of Health (DOH) which includes n95 masks, p100 masks, full face shields, surgical gowns, and scrub caps
- High evacuation suction to minimize aerosols
Sequenced Patient Scheduling
- More time between visits for coming, going, and cleaning
- Prioritizing our emergent, urgent, and elective non-aerosolizing procedures until DOH allows for more elective routine dentistry (e.g. 6-month cleanings)
Teledentistry & Mobile Dentistry
