Covid-19 Update!

We continue to operate under Governor Reynolds proclamation regarding delaying routine dental procedures until May 1^st.  Both old and new patients are being seen with

• dental pain,
• conditions that could result in serious problems if treatment is delayed, or
• the completion of in-process major treatment started before the quarantine and who will be harmed if delayed.

We have attempted to determine patients who fall within those categories and call them. However, if you fit any of the above classifications and have not scheduled with us, please give us a call at 515-279-3848.

Monday – Friday we have a dentist scheduled for emergency patients.  Commencing Monday, April 20^th, we will also have a dental hygienist scheduled for emergency patients who need deep cleanings or periodontal maintenance and are having pain or discomfort in their gums.

Plans are being made for after we are allowed to return to doing more routine procedures.  We have already updated a number of our health safety systems (new UV air filtration system designed to kill viruses circulating through the HVAC system, deep cleaning of all surfaces in the office, face shields and/or N95 masks for some procedures, and new protocols for check-in).  We are exploring adding more hours and offering extended hours during the recovery period.  However, we will need to see what additional mandates or guidelines are provided by various governing authorities.

Be assured that we are all anxious to be of service to you again for your dental needs. We have missed seeing all of our patients and after this forced separation we are excited to see you again soon.
