Zion Family Dentistry is open and seeing patients for cleanings, fillings, orthodontics/braces, implants, crowns, veneers, dentures, extractions and other elective procedures.  We are also here to see emergencies (as we have always been). 

​

We have made several changes to our office, procedures and processes to ensure the safest environment possible for our staff and patients.

​

Patients:

• Patients will be screened upon phone confirmation and again during check in at our office. This will include a questionnaire as well as temperature and pulse oximeter readings for all patients.

• All patients are required to wear masks in the waiting area. 

• Patients will be asked to wait in their car to ensure minimal occupancy of waiting area.

​

Staff:

• Staff will have temperature and pulse oximeter readings taken daily.

• Staff will use N95 masks with surgical masks on top of them or P100 respirators for all procedures and interactions with patients.

​

Office:​

• We have installed a HEPA filtration system throughout the office that is capable of filtering all the air in the office in 7 minutes to decrease the amount of airborne particles and aerosols present.

• Operatories are continuing to be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between patients.

• To reduce aerosolization, for the time-being, all cleanings will be performed with hand scaling only.

• The office is being thoroughly cleaned and sanitized at the end of every day.
