We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. While many things have changed during the events of the past several months, one thing has remained the same: our office’s commitment to your health and safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority in our practice. We follow recommendations and guidelines made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This allows us to make sure that our infection control procedures are up-to-date and enables us to provide the safest environment for our patients and our team.
During this time, we have implemented additional safety precautions to help protect our patients and staff.
Prior to your appointment, you will be asked to complete our COVID-19 wellness/disclosure form. This questionnaire must be completed before or when you arrive for your appointment. We will postpone treatment for any patient who has experienced or been in contact with someone who has experienced the following symptoms within 14 days of the scheduled appointment date: fever, cough, loss of taste and/or smell, flu-like symptoms, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, and fatigue.
Please be aware of the following protocols on the day of your appointment:
Every person entering the office is expected to wear a face covering.
We are practicing proper social distancing when it comes to scheduling appointments and treating patients in our office. For this reason, we ask that patients enter the office unaccompanied, if possible. For those patients who need a guardian to accompany them, we ask that this be limited to a single family member.
Although you might not notice these changes, we have made the several additions to our equipment in the office, including the use of:
EOS Extraoral Suction Systems in every operatory during all patient treatment to reduce the amount of airborne particles
GermGuardian Air Purifying Towers with HEPA Filters and UV-C in every operatory
Thank you for being part of our family dental practice,

We often see Invisalign promoted for adults, especially ones concerned about how metal orthodontics would impact their professional appearance. However, clear aligners are not just limited to improving smiles in adults. We can also use them to help kids and teens as well.
Despite the increasing popularity of clear aligners, many people still believe that metal braces are the only option for correcting misalignment. However, we can help improve your smile’s alignment without relying on metal orthodontics. How does Invisalign differ from braces? Who makes a good candidate for clear aligners?
Have you ever heard of Invisalign? Instead of using metal orthodontics to improve alignment, we can offer the same results with clear aligners, which are barely noticeable when worn. These aligners offer a number of benefits for our patients, including the ability to be removed before you eat or brush and floss your teeth. What… Read more »
