A note to our valued patients,

Thank you for your support of our practice over the years. We want to update you on the measures we have taken about the concerns around Coronavirus (COVID-19).

We have been closely monitoring updates from the CDC along with guidelines from local and US government, the American Dental Association, the New York Dental Association and other public health agencies.

Based on their guidance, we will be following their recommendation and will be closing our office to non-essential dental work until April 6th. They have asked us to remain open for emergency care. We will be contacting you to reschedule appointments. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call our office 315-592-7141.

If you need to be seen for an emergency, you can be assured as standard operating procedure; we clean and sanitize our office daily as well as sanitize equipment after each patient. We have recently added more steps to our protocol to ensure our patient safety. We are also providing our team members more information on how to stay healthy and are reiterating our policy that they must stay home if they are not feeling well. We respectfully request that if you are also not feeling well, traveled recently or think you may have been exposed to Coronavirus please stay home for the safety of our team and other guests. As our practice sees people of all ages we want to ensure that everyone stays healthy.

Best regards,

Thomas T Bunker DDS and staff

We often get this question, and it's a great one!
The best answer is: however often the dentist and hygienist recommend.

Some people should be coming in every 6 months. Others need to come in a little more often- every 3 or 4 months.

Routine hygiene visits are important to remove harmful bacteria from your mouth and maintain overall health.

Are you overdue for a cleaning and a check up? Call us today to set up an appointment. We would love to see you, and yes, we are accepting new patients.
