Crafting Beautiful Smiles

Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our 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 and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable.

Our office follows 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 are closely monitoring updated guidelines and have implemented several changes above and beyond our standard infection control procedures. 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 beforehand to ask some screening questions to measure risk level - If you have any flu or cold like symptoms, please cancel your appointment.
• We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
• The California Department of Health is requiring all patients to wear face coverings while in reception or waiting rooms.
• We have installed Medical Grade HEPA air purification units throughout the office. These filters are able to circulate the air in the entire treatment area every 15-20 minutes.
• We will be using additional high volume evacuation for cleanings and routing procedures that can reduce aerosols by 90%.
• We ask you to come alone to your appointment to decrease the amount of people in the reception area and office. If anyone accompanies you to your appointment we ask that they stay in the car.
• 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 at any one time. Texts and calls will be used to let you know when we are ready for you.
• Our staff will be using face shields and/or KN95 masks.

With the above considerations, the California Department of Public Health has authorized dental practices to resume preventative and routine care. We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 951-506-2424

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends
