Dovehouse Dentistry

Dovehouse Dentistry General and implant dentistry for the whole family in a friendly and caring environment

18/06/2020

To all of our dear patients,
We hope that you have all been safe and well and keeping your teeth and gums as healthy as possible during the lockdown. We are now open and starting ‘routine dentistry’, although under quite different conditions. The Covid-19 pandemic is still with us, so we have put into practice a multitude of safety measures.

We are operating a one-way system through the Practice with a closed-door policy. Attendance is by appointment only to limit the number of people within the building at any one time. There is a telephone screening process prior to any appointment which is checked for any changes before entry is permitted on the day. The entrance is through our staff car park on Dovehouse Lane where a team member will take your temperature before showing you to the waiting room. When you do attend you will notice several changes: there are more hand sanitising stations in communal areas, limited seating to take into account social distancing and we are all wearing more protective equipment for the safety of both staff and patients. There are additional dedicated periods after each patient for enhanced decontamination of both surgeries and waiting areas. Once the appointment has ended you will be taken to the reception desk, thereafter one of our friendly staff members will show you out.

Please contact us on 0121 706 4141 for any further information and to book your appointments.

To all of our dear patients,

You may have heard in the media on Thursday 28th May that dental practices will be allowed to re-open on 8th June. This announcement was released directly to the media and before the profession was made aware. This has put us and many colleagues on the back foot. We have tirelessly been working in the background with a view to re-opening since we were closed for face-to-face consultations and treatment at the end of March.

Sadly, re-opening is not a simple matter of opening the front door and continuing on a pre-Covid and "business as usual" footing. There are still many obstacles to overcome; sourcing the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure the safety of our patients and staff, which is of the utmost priority as the threat of Covid-19 has not as yet been eradicated.

Once we re-open you will notice there will be many changes at Dovehouse Dentistry both visibly and to the way we work. Appointments will not be as freely available to take into account the down time required to perform enhanced decontamination of surgeries and waiting areas in addition to maintaining social distancing within communal areas of the practice. Although we will not be able to shake your hand and greet you in the manner to which you have all been accustomed, please rest assured that we are still the same friendly team that you have always known albeit underneath all the extra layers of protective garb!

Initially, priority will be given to those patients who have been in touch during the lockdown. We know who you are, and we will be in touch to arrange your appointments. There will be no routine appointments for examinations (check-ups) or scaling to start. These will be phased in as the weeks progress.

So, we're aiming to be on track to re-open the week starting the 8th June which is subject to change, entirely depending on sourcing the PPE and any changes in government policy. This page will be regularly updated with any new developments.

From The Team at Dovehouse Dentistry.

Dovehouse Dentistry is temporarily closed for routine dental treatment. This is as a result of the instructions given to all dentists by the Office of the Chief Dental Officer and the Prime Minister to stop the spread of Covid 19 (coronavirus). We are of course still available to our patients for telephone advice from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. Outside these hours, please call the practice on 0121 706 4141 and follow the instructions on the answerphone. We hope to be up and running as soon as possible and wish to see all our patients soon.
Stay safe and keep well.
