Here at Unique Dental Care, your health and safety is our biggest priority. During this period, we would like to assure our patients that we are closely keeping up to date with the current COVID-19 outbreak, and complying with the advice by the Australian Dental Association (ADA). For the health and safety of our patients, staff and dentists, we are operating and seeing patients for urgent and emergency care. If you have a check up booked in the next few days, we will be in contact with you shortly to reschedule your appointment.
Our clinic always follows strict infection control practices, however since the outbreak, we have implemented some extra measures which include;
- Asking patients with appointments who are unwell, have a fever or respiratory infection, have travelled overseas in the last 14 days, have COVID-19 or been in contact with a person who fit these criteria to contact us to reschedule
- Asking all patients to sanitise their hands with the alcohol gel provided when entering and leaving our practice
- Regularly sanitising the reception area, waiting room, door handles, pens and HICAPS machines
- Removing all toys, magazines and pillows from the waiting room
- Implementing social distancing by spacing out waiting room chairs, restricting the waiting room to 2 people at a time, asking additional people who are not parents/guardians to wait outside the clinic, minimising amount of time waiting in the waiting room, and asking patients to wait in their cars until their appointment time if there are 2 people already in the waiting room
Unique Dental Care is committed to providing exceptional dental care and we will remain open unless advised by the ADA and government boards. As always, we will continue to take emergency calls and assist you over the phone, should we be required to close. our number is 6285 1899.
We would like to thank our patients for their continued support, and we hope you all stay well during this period.
