WE WILL BE OPEN JUNE 1, 2020!
We are so excited to share that our office will be open to serve you starting Monday June 1, 2020. This has been a long haul for many of us and we are so grateful that you have stayed healthy and well throughout this season of COVID-19.
Everyone that had an appointment from March 17th until May 28th is still on our scheduling books. That is our reminder to contact you for scheduling. Please be patient with us as we work through the details of a “new normal.” Allow us the luxury of a “soft start” as we work through all of the new safety protocols that we are working with.
We have stayed focused on our purpose of transforming lives with great oral health. The three tenants of our practice have been and always will be:
* Gum tissue free from any bleeding, inflammation, or infection
* Teeth free from any decay, cracks, or gaps.
* A comfortable bite with all of your teeth – no gaps
* An open airway to allow you to breath well.
During this time, the team and I have been able to update our skills with lots of new techniques and materials, as well as updating our rigorous infection control protocols with everyone’s safety in mind. You will notice some significant changes as we work to incorporate a new comprehensive, relationship-based model where you have the control to be as healthy as you want to be.
Thanks for all of the encouraging messages that I have received. It has meant a lot to know that you are doing well. Also, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for all of the participation that you have done in the past to take control of your health. That is the greatest compliment that you could pay us.
Again, I am super excited to get back to the practice, bring the team back together face to face, and partner with you for a healthy future.
Looking forward to a new practice!
