Other Safety Measures

• Only the appointed patient will be taken into the treatment room.
• Only one patient will be at near checkout desk at a time. We request that you pay with card only at this time instead of cash.
• In an effort to maintain social distancing, our reception and coffee area will be closed for the time being, and we ask that you stay within 6 feet of the check-in desk, unless to pay or sign necessary documents.
• All pens, clipboards, as well as credit card machine will be sanitized between each patient.
• Your dedicated treatment room will be sanitized and prepared with CDC approved disinfectants, and we always use one of the most advanced autoclave sterilization systems for hand pieces and instruments.
• We will provide hand sanitizer for your use when you arrive.
• We will allow for more time between appointments, that may mean fewer available appointment times. Please be patient with us, we promise to get you in at the earliest available. We will also prioritize you based on urgency of treatment need.
• We also plan to maintain an open chair between patients. This allows for more space to allow for air purification and less aerosols.
