We recognize times have changed. Priorities have shifted. Today, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our staff and patients.
With this in mind, we are happy to share the 21 additional steps we are taking to make every visit to our dental office as safe as possible. These actions are incremental to our normal standards of care that meet or exceed all CDC, OSHA and ADA guidelines for dental offices.
Our goal is to add peace-of-mind to the friendliness and clinical excellence you have come to expect. Of course, this is part of an on-going commitment that will evolve with the times. As always, we welcome the opportunity to answer any of your questions and to address all concerns.
We are in this together, and we will never underestimate the power of a smile!
No contact temperature checks and a quick set of questions will ensure our team is ready, willing and able to provide safe dental care every day.
We truly do love our patients. However, we will save our hearty welcomes and goodbyes for a later date when things are “back to normal”.
In the past, you might have seen us at the grocery store in our stylish scrubs. No longer. Now, we change into and out of our newly-cleaned scrubs at the dental office, every day.
In addition to brushing and flossing before your visit, we will provide an Oracare solution to rinse in your mouth for 60 seconds and reduce bacteria.
Now, you can check-in from your car. As a result, you are able to minimize contact with others, bypass the reception area, and go directly to your treatment room.
Minimizing cross-contamination is an important part of our plan. We will ask you to dispose of any outside gloves before you enter.
A quick health questionnaire and consent form along with a no-touch temperature check will be completed when you arrive at our dental office.
Relax. We have hours dedicated exclusively to our mature and medically-concerned patients. Let us add peace-of-mind to your next visit.
Some consultations and follow-up visits can be handled via our secure, patient communication portal. It is a cool, ultra-safe, and efficient extension of our dental office.
Every patient will be asked to thoroughly disinfect their hands before entering the clinical area of our dental office.
Fewer chairs in our reception area, helpful signs and one-way traffic in our treatment area make 6 ft. spacing a practical reality.
We are super clean as we thoroughly wipe, sanitize, and disinfect all instruments, equipment and surfaces in each operatory after every patient.
Along with cleaning and sanitizing during the day, we take things to another level at night with a thorough top-to-bottom scrub down.
This is standard procedure at all times, and nothing has changed. Anything that goes near your mouth is heat and pressure cleaned between every use.
The beautiful smiles of our dentists, hygienists, and assistants will be protected behind double-masking at all times.
Even our friendly administrative team will be wearing ASTM Level 3 masks. Don’t worry. They are smiling behind those masks!
Two masks are not enough. Our clinical team will also protect you and themselves through the use of FDA Approved PET face shields.
This cool contraption allows us to kill 99.99% of bacteria on any smartphone in 60 seconds. If a phone enters our dental office, it will have a timeout in this box.
Our air has never been cleaner. We have added HEPA-grade filters to our HVAC system along with stand-alone air cleaners in each operatory.
This may make our reception area a little less exciting, but it makes it much safer as well.
Hard plastic guards have been placed strategically throughout the dental office and are cleaned regularly to help block the movement of airborne particles.
Here at Bartusiak Dental Care, we strive to make your visit with us simple, easy and comfortable.
