COVID-19 Update:

 

To best care for our community, there are numerous changes we have made to our protective equipment, scheduling times, appointment spacing, instrument selection, and overall flow of your appointment.  We are confident in our plan and commitment to mitigate risk while providing for your dental needs. 

​

New Safety Protocols at Ottawa Beach Dental:

• Curbside check-in: We will ask that you call or text our office upon arrival for your appointment.  There will be no one waiting in the reception room.

• Increased personal protective equipment: We will be adhering to best-practice guidelines which include our team wearing improved masks, face-shields, and gowns.

• Masks are required for every individual entering the office

• Hand sanitizing station at the entry to our office: Patients will be asked to use our sanitizer upon arrival and upon leaving the office.

• Temperature and symptom screenings for all patients and staff

• Aerosol reducing techniques and equipment:  Minimizing use of aerosol-creating equipment and capturing aerosols at the source are the most effective ways to minimize dental aerosols.   For those who are curious, we will be using a combination of devices including DryShield (a new suction device), rubber dams, and high-volume evacuation during every aerosol-producing procedure.

• Air Filtration Units have been installed in every room

• Contact-free payment options

• Contact free forms/paperwork options

 

We believe that our most effective safety protocol is caring enough to do all of this with diligence.  We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work together to meet the needs of the OBD Community.  Though we will provide further information upon scheduling your next visit, please do not hesitate to call our team with any questions.  See you soon!
