Our office utilizes the most up-to-date sterilization and disinfection protocols available to dental/medical offices. However, during these unprecedented times, we are taking extra steps to ensure your safety in our office.

- New loss of taste and/or smell
- Had close contact with someone with these symptoms
- Traveled anywhere with widespread, ongoing transmission of COVID-19 within the last 14 days, or been in close contact with someone who has.

Please rest assured our employees have been instructed to follow these same guidelines and are required to not come to work if exhibiting any signs of illness.
