From Day 1, our primary focus has been your safety and health. We have consistently adhered to infection control guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure your comfort and safety. To further enhance protection, we have implemented additional precautions out of an abundance of caution.
Here’s what to expect during your next visit:
– Each treatment room will be equipped with an air purifier.
– We will frequently disinfect office surfaces with a disinfectant fog throughout the day.
– An intra-oral evacuation system will be used to remove aerosols created by dental procedures.
– We will contact you before your appointment for screening questions and ask them again upon your arrival.
– Your temperature will be taken with a contactless thermometer upon entering the office.
– We will provide hand sanitizer at the entrance, reception area, and other locations for your use.
– Our front desk staff will wear protective equipment.
– Appointments will be scheduled to maintain social distancing, which may result in fewer scheduling options.
– We will allow extra time between appointments to minimize waiting times and reduce the number of patients in the reception area.
– We ask that you limit companions to those essential for the appointment.
– If you need to complete paperwork and cannot do so digitally, please bring your own pen.

UPDATE: As of May 29, 2021, the Commonwealth’s mask order has been lifted. However, following the Department of Public Health’s advisory and the CDC’s updated guidance, masks remain mandatory in healthcare settings, including dental offices. Thus, both staff and patients are required to wear masks during visits and procedures, regardless of vaccination status.
Your well-being and that of our staff are our top priorities. We appreciate your cooperation with the mask mandate to ensure we continue providing the highest quality care in a safe environment.
