Our entire office is taking extra precautions and following recommendations made by the NY State Government, Center for Disease Control (CDC), and The American Dental Association (ADA).
Precautions you can expect:

- We are avoiding multiple patients in the waiting room or at the front desk at the same time
- Patients are screened multiple times before arrival by our front desk staff
- Clinical staff all wear NIOSH approved N95 masks and other protective gear/PPE (shown above)
- There are less total patients per day to decrease flow of people in the office
- Appointment times have been elongated to allow for thorough and lengthy cleaning of each room between patients
