Covid-19 Notice
Due to covid-19, our protective procedures have changed. Please read the following information:
Seablue Dental is continuing to complete dental treatment in line with the American Dental Association’s and CDC recommendations through the COVID-19 period.
Pre-Appointment Screening
We will provide you with a pre-screening questionnaire when you arrive for your appointment. Please review it and let us know if you are experiencing any symptoms. If you would like to review the Patient Screening Form, you can click this link: COVID-19 PRE-SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE
Social Distancing
We ask that just the patient come inside the office for treatment in order to avoid patients from getting too near to one another and to maintain the proper social distance. The accompanying family members are asked to wait in their vehicle. By doing this, patients won't congregate in the entrance lobby. One relative may accompany the patient if translation is required.
Hand Sanitizer
There is hand sanitizer at the front desk, which each patient is required to use as they come in. You may use sanitizer any time during your visit.
Masks and other PPE
Patients must put on a mask before coming into our office. When working with you, the dental team will wear KN95 or N95 masks, gloves, and occasionally gowns to protect you and them from any contamination.
Plexiglass barriers
For the front desk, should you need to do anything before we bring you back, or after your appointment, we have installed plexiglass to shield you and us.
Sanitizing procedures for common areas
Depending on traffic, public spaces including the lobby, corridors, and restrooms receive frequent sanitization. We have already significantly decreased the amount of potential airborne pollutants and surface area pollution by restricting the number of individuals that enter the office and by closing our waiting room.
Limiting extra companions
We are aware that having relatives, friends, or spouses with us to the dentist can be soothing, but for the time being, we must minimize exposure. Please let them know they must wait in the car if they accompany you to your appointment unless the patient is a minor or requires special help in which case we appreciate the necessity for them to have their guardians.
Please be aware
You can have longer waits due to the additional safeguards and processes that must be taken. We sincerely hope you can understand and that you will help us be more effective in the additional steps we must take. We are confident that everyone will eventually appreciate everything for the better since it is for the best.
We look forward to serving you, and being a safe place for you and everyone else!
