To our dental family and the community
Our latest addition to protect patients and team members from COVID-19 and other pathogens. The ADS extra-oral chairside suction unit!
The ADS EOS extraoral dental suction system collects aerosols, droplets, dust and pathogens produced during routine dental procedures through a suction mouthpiece hood. The HEPA filter captures particles 99.995% efficiency then UV-C lights kill any remaining bacteria and viruses.
When scheduling your appointment, we will do the following:
· Update any changes to phone and email.
· Update any changes to dental benefits plan.
· Perform a preliminary Covid-19 screening.
· Advise any procedures that may be limited or unavailable.
We understand that you may have concerns:
Dental offices were safe before the pandemic and with added precautions even safer today. We are following guidelines provided by state and federal agencies, along with recommendations from the American Dental Association, which include:
· Office staff will be screened for Covid-19 at the start of each workday.
· Appointment times staggered for social distance scheduling. Times may be limited.
· New protective and sanitizing equipment.
· Enhanced cleaning protocols.
There will be several changes to our check in procedures
· Please self-screen the day of your appointment. If symptoms are present, call the office.
· Arrive 5 minutes before your appointment time.
· Only patients are permitted in the office except for those requiring a caregiver.
· Masks are required to enter the office and worn at all times except during treatment.
· Proceed to registration for hand sanitizer, symptom check, and “no touch” temperature scan.
· If your temperature is above 100.4 the appointment will be cancelled.
· Practice personal social distancing. If you wish to wait in your car, please advise at check-in.
Co-Pays and Other Fees
· All co-pays are due at time of appointment. Credit cards and checks only.
· A $10.00 fee will be applied to all visits to defray the increased costs of protective equipment.
