Our entire team is committed to providing you with the personalized, gentle care that you deserve.
Patient-oriented
Patient-oriented
The walkway to our dental office is surrounded with an abundance of relaxing greenery and plants. As you step inside, help yourself to our beverage station during your brief wait. During treatment, we offer neck pillows, and to ease dental procedures we use The Wand®️ technology to deliver pain-free local anesthetic.
Genuine Interaction
Before we commence any service, our staff will explain your options, welcome your questions and honor your choices. Throughout your appointment, we ensure that you’re comfortable and that you understand what’s happening and why.
GENUINE INTERACTION
Dear Patient Family Member,
We hope this letter finds you and your loved ones in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to moving cautiously toward normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep both patients and our team safe.
Our office will continue to follow infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We actively follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
- Our office will communicate with you during scheduling and ask some screening questions before appointing a time for you. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you arrive at the office.
- Appointment times will be managed to allow for physical distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
- 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 and the office overall at any one time.
- Only patients will be permitted in the office. Any drivers or companions will have to remain outside or in the car.
- If possible, we would like you to call us from your cellular phone when you arrive at the office. Remain in your car. Our infection control coordinator will come out to greet you at your car. Your temperature will be taken and screening questions will be repeated before you enter the office.
- We will ask you to use our available hand sanitizer when you enter the office. You will also find hand sanitizer for use throughout the office.
- We encourage you to bring your own pen.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we taken to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office or visit our website.
Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
Sincerely,
Rick L. Root D.M.D.
