We ask that you wear a mask to the office on the day of your visit. When you arrive, a team member will go over this health questionnaire a second time to see if youve had any changes. We ask that you wear your mask until youre prepped, ready, and in the chair for treatment.
In addition to the already strict and stringent sterilization and disinfection rules we have in place, weve also added some extra steps. One of the good things about how our dental office in Chapel Hill is designed is that our treatment rooms are not bays, so this means contamination between rooms is not possible. All of our treatment areas will be cleaned thoroughly and disinfected between patients. During this time, the rooms will receive a 7-minute run of high-flow air filtration to remove any particles in the air. Well change into a fresh gown and face shield for every patient. All of these steps have helped us eliminate cross-contamination between patients through surface contact or ambient air in our rooms.
To take your keeping you safe even one step further, youll notice that our team will now be wearing some different gear. Well be wearing full hospital-grade surgical gowns, face shields, and KN95 masks to help keep you protected from viral particles floating around in the air.
