All of our doctors are Board Certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and they all received up to an additional 6 years of hospital based surgical training to further their expertise and skills. As oral surgeons, our doctors specialize in wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, temporomandibular joint related problems (TMD), congenital oral defects, facial trauma, oral pathology and sleep apnea.
Our community has been through a great deal over the past few months and were all looking forward to returning to a more normal way of life. As some of you are aware, our offices have remained open throughout this ordeal to treat emergencies and help relieve the stress on our overloaded emergency rooms. We thank you for your confidence in us to keep you safe during this pandemic.
A primary goal of the COVID-19 restrictions placed on dental offices was to minimize exposure of the virus to doctors, patients, and staff by eliminating elective procedures and to preserve precious personal protective equipment (PPE) for those on the front lines of this epidemic. Now that we have been able to procure a sufficient supply of PPE and have had adequate time to implement safety protocols that exceed the state requirements, we are pleased to announce that we will slowly begin to increase our operations to handle cases we have currently delayed.
Infection control and patient safety has always been and will continue to be an utmost priority at our offices. For your health and safety, additional infection control procedures (both required by law and elected by us) have been implemented in our offices based on the recommendations by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
