COVID-19 UPDATE April 10, 2020
In acknowledging the latest Executive Order signed by Governor Lee we are once again updating our office hours and policies.
We will continue to not do any elective procedures including but not exclusive to cleanings, initial exams, small fillings and new denture impressions.
We will be available for dental emergencies during limited office hours:
Monday-Thursday 10:00am-2:00PM
These hours will remain in effect until Monday, May 4, when we hope to resume regular business hours.
Please call our office to set up an appointment as we will not be accepting any walk-ins. We will continue scheduling one patient at a time. Those accompanying patients must wait in the car, thereby limiting people in our waiting area and giving us time to disinfect all areas between patients. We realize this is unprecedented and we are taking it day by day to protect both our patients and staff.
As with seemingly everything these days this is subject to change. We appreciate your understanding as we all work through these trying times.
Wash your hands!

My friend and classmate, Dr Michael Barr, who is far more eloquent then me, wrote this statement (I have edited) which sums up our practice policies:
Corona / COVID-19 Virus and Dentistry
Hello! Dr. Dan here! We've been hearing a lot about the "Coronavirus" in the news recently. We've also been hearing a lot of misinformation. Consequently, we are experiencing a
pandemic of panic. Unnecessary panic. There's a run on toilet paper, for gosh sakes!
How does going to a dental appointment factor into the Coronavirus situation?
I'll keep it brief.
A dental office is probably one of the safest places I can think of. Everything is sterilized. Countertops and other environmental surfaces are doused in disinfectants between every visit.
Private care offices like ours don't have a waiting room full of sick people. If you've been here, you've probably never seen my reception area full of waiting patients. That's been by
design since I started my practice. We see one patient at a time and run our schedule accordingly. Our reception room is usually empty, because the scheduled patient is in the
chair. 😁
Perhaps the worst place to be would be a traditional medical doctor's office waiting room full of coughing patients!
So, come on in! We have always taken every precaution and measure to keep our patients safe.
Wash your hands frequently. Keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer in your car for when you
touch things like gas pumps, doors, and other surfaces in public places.
If you have any questions or concersn please contact our office.
Lastly, please don't panic and live your life with a happy heart.
