COVID-19 UPDATE
Here at Advanced Dental Professionals, we have opened our doors as of May 5th, while still keeping a close eye on the developments surrounding COVID-19 in Pennington county.
The safety of our patients and employees is our top priority. As we continue to see patients, we are stringently following the guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Dental Association (ADA).
In order to maintain a safe environment, we are taking these measures:
– Pre-appointment wellness forms. Before your appointment, we will text you a link to a wellness form. You may also see this link at the end of your appointment confirmation text. Please click on the link to fill out the wellness form that asking a few health questions related to COVID-19. This is to ensure the safety of both our employees and other patients. If you are feeling unwell, or show any symptoms of COVID-19, please get in touch with us to reschedule your appointment.
– The day of your appointment we will also ask these same questions from the wellness form and take your temperature before you enter the office.
– Curbside waiting. To adhere to social distancing rules, we ask that you please wait in your car when you arrive at our office. When you arrive at the building, check in by texting us at our office phone number 605-343-5415. We will text you back when we are ready for you to come in and give you a code that gives you access to the building.
– Increased disinfection. While we have always had stringent cleaning protocol, we are increasing how frequently we clean and sanitize our office. Employees are mandated to wash their hands multiple times per day, like always.
– As the picture above shows, we may look a little different. We are wearing the recommended PPE as set by the ADA. Under those masks are the same smiling faces, happy to see you at the office!
-We also ask that if you recently traveled to any parts of the US outside of west river SD or a country internationally, that has recently experienced a COVID-19 outbreak, please do not enter the office. We will work with you to reschedule your appointment!
If your appointment with Dr. Studer or one of the hygienist was cancelled in March, April or May due to the COVID19 we are working hard to get you back in our full summer schedule, especially for hygiene. If you haven’t heard from us, give us a call to help us get you back in the schedule.
