Important Information Regarding COVID-19

To our Valued Patients:

Our office is open and we are in the process of returning to routine visits and scheduling non-urgent procedures, in addition to continuing to care for Dental Emergencies.  Our goal is to continue to keep our patients and employees safe, while resuming Oral Surgery care for our healthy population.

If your child is due for Wisdom Tooth removal, now is a great time to schedule.  If you are a healthy adult, now is a great time to schedule your Dental Implant procedure or tooth extraction.  If you are due for a follow-up or want to consult with a Doctor about a new problem, give our office a call.  We are continuing to follow all social distancing protocols, and sanitizing surfaces after every patient.

We will continue offering virtual visits for patient consultations.  Our office will continue to screen all patients for any COVID-19 symptoms prior to any appointments, in order to keep this virus out of our office.   Patients who are ill, or who have had recent fever, will be offered a virtual visit or to reschedule.

In recognition of ongoing news reports and the continued spread of the COVID-19 virus, we realize our patients have questions. As dedicated health care professionals, we want you to know that we remain as diligent as ever in protecting the health and safety of our patients and staff. Our practice strictly adheres to and exceeds the standards for infection control by wearing personal protective gear, using hospital-grade disinfectants, practicing the latest sterilization protocols, utilizing single-use disposable materials, and more. Every effort we have in place is to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. We want you to know that we are monitoring this situation very closely, and we will keep you updated regularly.

Symptoms of coronavirus are reported as flu-like, with varying degrees of severity. While we do not know everything about this virus to date, individuals who are elderly and/or immunocompromised appear to be the most at risk of a severe infection. To ensure your health and safety, and the health and safety of everyone at our practice, please reschedule your appointment if you or a member of your household has a cough, fever, and/or flu-like symptoms. In addition, please reschedule your appointment if you have traveled to any areas within the past 14 days that are at high risk for contracting the coronavirus.

We thank you in advance and extend our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation. Together, we can help keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office, and one of our staff members will be more than happy to assist you.
