COVID-19 Response & Reopening Operation Guidelines

Hafa Adai! 
As of Monday, May 11th, Premier Dentistry will officially be re-opening but with updated operations at reduced capacity. We have implemented various precautionary measures. These are measures are supplementary to the procedures we had already been practicing prior to the COVID-19 situation. 
The current, additional precautions are as follows: 

• Plexiglass sneeze shields installed across entire reception area
• Customized tri-fold plexiglass sneeze sheld for patient screening zone
• Spread-out seating area in lobby waiting room (physical distancing)
• Hand sanitizer dispenser installed at the entry of the clinic
• Facial tissue provided in lobby and all dental treatment rooms
• "Stormtrooper" protective face shields provided for all staff
• Lighter load for patient scheduling to minimize interaction in the aiting room
• Staggered shifts for staff lunch breaks (to ensure physical distancing for staff members as well)
• No accompanying people permitted in waiting room or dental treatment room unless the person is a legal guardian or assisting a patient with disability. 
• Staff members will be screened daily and will record their health conditions in a safely-maintained log notebook​

Additionally, patients will be asked to complete pre-screening during appointment confirmation calls and a screening on the day of the appointment at the screening station. 

All patients MUST wear a mask in order to be allowed for entry into the clinic. If patients do not have a mask, they will be asked to purchase one of the masks available for sale at the clinic OR re-schedule the appointment. 

As a health care facility, Premier Dentistry has always abided by the universal standards for a clean and sterile environment; however, out of an abundance of caution, we have implemented additional measures to ensure the safety of both patients and staff. Premier Dentistry held a half-day training session for all staff to ensure they are up-to-date with
the changes and enhancement, as well as the new operational guidelines. We ask that you abide by our patient guidelines as well as follow the instructions of all staff members in order to ensure a smooth process. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding,
Premier Dentistry
