Effective June 15th, we will be reopening our doors for regular and elective treatment. We understand that this has been a tough time for everyone and we hope that we can address your dental needs again. As a result of the coronavirus, here are some of the new safety changes you may notice at our office:

· Having patients wait in their cars prior to their appointment instead of the waiting room

· COVID screening questionnaire and contactless temperature checks as you walk in the office

· Asking everyone to wear masks as they enter the office

· Longer appointment times and less patient scheduling to avoid congestion in the office and to allow for enhanced cleaning of treatment rooms

· Daily staff COVID screenings and temperature checks


In addition to the new safety protocols we have implemented, we have also invested in physical upgrades to our office. These include:

· Air scrubber and Iwave air purifier installed in our HVAC system

· HEPA Air Filters in each treatment room

· Newly installed partitions to keep our staff and patients socially distanced



We are looking forward to serving our patients again! We have missed all of you and can’t wait to see all of those healthy smiles!

Sincerely,

Dr. Steve, Dr. Choi and staff

Updated May 14th:

Starting May 11th, the Illinois Department of Public Health revised their guidelines for dental offices allowing them to reopen for elective dental care. This came with specific recommendations that will significantly change the way we have practiced dentistry in the past. At this time, we are in the process of implementing those recommendations and will be opening in the near future. Our priority is patient and staff safety, so we take these recommendations seriously. When you return to our office, please be patient and understanding with our new policies and procedures. Specifically, you will notice the heightened use of PPE (personal protective equipment) for everyone and new office protocols in addition to air filtration devices, thus your visit may take slightly longer than usual. The delay in opening is a direct result of a shortage of proper PPE as well as physical changes to the office that will provide distancing and protection for everyone’s safety. When we are fully equipped to provide a safe environment to resume normal operations, we will contact you to reschedule. If you have a dental emergency, we are still available and you can reach our office at 312-791-0920. We look forward to seeing everyone again!

Updated May 1st:

Starting today, March 16th and continuing through May 30th, we will be limiting our office to emergency care only in accordance with guidelines put in place by the American Dental Association, the Illinois State Dental Society and Governor Pritzker. If you have a scheduled appointment, we will be in touch to notify you of the cancellation. There is a possibility that these limitations may continue beyond May 30th. When it is safe to resume normal operations, we will contact you to reschedule. If you have a dental emergency, you can reach our office at 312-791-0920.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause, but it is imperative that as a community, we slow the spread of this virus, and that requires extreme measures. We are aiming to help by implementing this policy and remain committed to your dental care as well as your safety.
