What to Know Before Your Next Dental Appointment

Your health and safety have always been our top priorities, therefore we have implemented a screening process before an appointment can be scheduled, upon patient arrival, and for every employee coming to work each day. Please Note: Due to the California Governor’s Mandate all patients are required to wear a face covering while in the dental facility prior to and following dental treatment.

Before you visit the office you can complete this form and print to save time.

What Precautions We are Taking to Protect Our Patients and Our Staff

  • You will see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, video games, beverage stations and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
  • Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses, meaning they are one of the easiest types of viruses to kill with the appropriate disinfectant. We clean and disinfect public areas frequently, including door handles, chairs, and bathrooms.
  • We are sanitizing the rooms after every patient and, fogging the entire office with Fogging Machines during lunch breaks and after work hours with . A cleaning crew was employed to clean the offices nightly to make sure all surfaces (counter tops), flooring, bathrooms, door knobs etc. are wiped clean with cleaning agents.
  • 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 area at any one time.
  • We are installing HEPA-Rx filters to clear the air of pathogens.
  • We are installing plexiglass dividers at our front desks and will be working on minimizing the amount of paperwork required at your appointment. Whenever possible, we will use digital means of communication and payment.
  • Each office has a new Extra Oral Suction Unit that greatly reduces aerosols that are produced from some dental procedures.
  • Our friendly team members may look different. They will be wearing full gowns, masks, and face shields to ensure minimum contact with germs and viruses.
