COVID Practices

TO OUR PATIENT FAMILY,

We hope you and your families are feeling strong and smiling safe! We have reviewed countless scientific reports regarding the COVID-19 virus. Our practice has always emphasized safe dentistry. Now we’ve taken additional steps, to continue to keep you safe in our office and during treatment.

Since the news and developments regarding COVID-19 are changing very rapidly, this is an admittedly imperfect message that can and will be updated as often as necessary to keep you, our valued patients, up to date. Ultimately, please know that we are committed to serving you at the highest levels possible, through any circumstances. We are also fully committed to minimizing risks to you, our excellent dental team members, as well as all our families and surrounding circles.

DENTISTRY IS ESSENTIAL

Contrary to the initial designation of dental offices as “non-essential,” dentistry is absolutely “essential” to maintaining your overall health. Research clearly shows that patients become more susceptible to systemic disease in the presence of compromised oral health. For example, if you have active periodontal disease, your immune system becomes compromised.

As such, we believe that it is not unreasonable to protect against the possibility that you might be more susceptible to the COVID-19 virus if you neglect your oral health.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO KEEPING YOU SAFE.

While no one can eliminate the risk of disease transmission, we are taking additional precautions to reduce your risk.

 

SCHEDULE YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT TODAY

It is now time to return for your much needed dental care, which you can receive with confidence in our safer-than-ever environment. If you are due for your periodontal therapy or have another need for treatment, please call for an appointment. We look forward to seeing you soon!
