May 20, 2020

We have received the go-ahead from the College of Dental Surgeons to reopen the office and tend to your dental needs. The office will be re-opening as of Wednesday, May 27, 2020.

The health of our patients and staff are of our utmost concern. To follow the regulations as per the “College of Dental Surgeons” of British Columbia, we will be implementing the following procedures for all appointments:

• Patients will be screened for symptoms via telephone prior to the appointment. Appointment times will be staggered to sanitize the office between appointments.
• Patients will be asked to notify us when they arrive in the parking lot to the Dental Office, we will then notify you when we are ready to see you to avoid congestion at the front desk.
• Once instructed to enter the office, patients are requested to use the hand sanitizer once entering the reception area and to remove their outside gloves and to wait on the mat until further instructed.
• We ask that only the patient obtaining dental treatment attends the appointment. One parent may accompany a minor to their appointment. Please keep all other family members at home, or they may wait outside.
• The patient washroom will be out of service until further advised by health and safety guidelines.
• Please note that due to the nature of dentistry, physical distancing is not achievable while obtaining dental treatment.
• For our high-risk patients, we will try to limit their appointment to the end of the day or close to so that treatment can be provided for them.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the office at 250-579-2080. We look forward to re-opening and seeing you all soon!
