Q&A

What should I do if I am overdue for my cleaning?

We hope to know soon when the State will allow us to take care of your preventative dental needs. Our team will be in touch with you as soon as we receive notice.

When can I schedule those fillings that need to be done?

Please call the office so that we can discuss your specific needs. If you were previously scheduled for fillings during the restriction period, please be assured that one of our team members will be contacting you as soon as we are able to reschedule. We ask that you remain patient as we make adjustments to accommodate the safety of our team members and our patients. If you are experiencing pain, please call our office for assistance.

What precautions should I take when I come in for my visit?

We ask that you please wear a mask to your visit and let us know if you have been exposed to a Covid patient or are experiencing any of the Covid-related symptoms; fever, cough, loss of taste/smell or shortness of breath.

How many family members can accompany me to my appointment?

The goal of the emergency protocol is to highly limit the possible spread of the virus. We are asking that patients enter the office alone. One parent may accompany a child during their visit. We thank you for your cooperation.

I have a temporary crown in my mouth. Is it safe for me to be in a temporary for so long?

The temporary can protect the tooth for a long time but if you are experiencing any pain or constant sensitivity with the tooth please give the office a call and we can help you sort out your individual problem.

Are you currently scheduling orthodontic patients?

If you had to miss an appointment due to the restrictions, one of our team members will be contacting you to reschedule your next visit as soon as possible. If you are having an orthodontic emergency, we ask that you contact our office for assistance.

What changes can I expect when I come in for my visit?

After the parking lot check-in process, you may enter the office wearing a mask. A team member will take your temperature before leading you back to the clinical area. You will be asked to wash your hands thoroughly and rinse with mouthwash upon entering the treatment room. When treatment is completed, you must wash your hands prior to leaving. Throughout the office, you will find all of the social distance measures in place for your safety including contact-less check-out.

My child is in braces and hasn’t been seen in several weeks. How is this affecting his treatment?

The system of brackets and wires we use will continue to the job they are intended for much longer than the typical appointment cycle. As some of the intended movements are completed the system then continues to retain that movement and we will pick up where the treatment left off as soon as we are cleared by the State Health Department.

I am currently in active Wirelign treatment, how is my progress being impacted?

Most likely the bonded wires will continue to work. Some times there is a little bit of over-correction which will easily be corrected at the next treatment visit.

I am in the middle of my dental implant procedure. What should I do?

All implant cases are very stable and rarely need any intervention between visits. Please know we are evaluating all of our implant cases to be prepared to work through your case as soon as we can.

My dentures broke and I am unable to wear them. How can you help?

Please call the office for us to schedule an appointment based on your specific needs.

My face is swollen and I think I have an abscess?

Please call the office as soon as possible.
