Coronavirus Update

Here at The Dental Practice, we understand that the current situation has been a testing time for everyone, we need to ensure we are still able to care for you and your dental needs. Although our practice has always been a safe place, we have made adjustments in the way we operate so that we can welcome you and care for you with enhanced safety measures in place.

Every single decision we have made and step we have taken has been with a focus on the safety of you, our colleagues and clinicians. We understand that things may feel different to your usual experience of a dental visit, so here is some information on how your new visit will look and feel.

Before your appointment

We will contact you by telephone prior to your appointment for a pre Covid-19 screening, this will include a couple of questions on your overall health and any information you feel necessary to bring to our attention. We do recommend that you attend your appointment alone unless your require assistance, are supporting a child or a vulnerable person. Please arrive just at the time of your appointment as space may be limited in the waiting area, for that reason you may be requested to wait outside until we can invite you into the practice.

Entering the Practice

One of our colleagues will greet you at the front door which following new procedures is operated by an intercom system, this will be clearly indicated on the front door so you can inform us you have arrived. We will then repeat our pre-covid screening and take your oxygen saturation reading as well as your temperature. If you show a temperature that is 37.8 or above, we will unfortunately have to postpone your appointment for at least 14 days.

On entering the practice, you will be asked to sanitise your hands and place a face covering on if you are not already wearing one. If you do not have one, we will provide one for you and show you how to wear this correctly. Our practice reception colleagues will be behind protective plastic screens, this is for the safety of everyone. Our patient waiting room may be in use and we will need to adhere to social distancing measures where possible throughout the practice.

Treatment

Before you enter the surgery, you will be asked to leave any loose belongings like your coat or bag in the designation box provided, at this point you will be able to remove your face covering. Upon entering the surgery, depending on your procedure our team may be wearing additional PPE (personal protective equipment), although we do try our best to adhere to social distancing recommendations this may not always be possible in practice. With these additional safety measures in place it may be more difficult to see our colleagues and clinicians faces, please be reassured that we will still be the usual friendly team.

Please be reassured that each treatment room is carefully cleaned and disinfected after each patient.

After your appointment

When your treatment is complete, you will be asked to replace your face covering and to collect your belongings. There will be hand sanitiser available at the reception desk for you to use following your appointment. If you have any questions following your appointment, we will be able to call you to discuss this further, as our aim is to minimise your time in the practice.

We have taken the above measures to ensure the safety of you, our colleagues and clinicians, making this our top priority as we return to provide you with the same standard of dental care you have been used to.

If you do have any questions regarding our new practice experience do not hesitate to contact us on 01277 233 912.

I had excellent care from Sergio. I needed a huge filling in one of my molar teeth and he made me feel very at ease and I was totally confident in his work. He is also super friendly! I will definitely go back when I need more dental care.
