To our valued patients,
The primary focus of our dental practice is and has always been the health and safety of our patients and staff. As the news continues to develop regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are continuing to take all necessary precautions and following strict OSHA protocols for sterilization of dental instruments and cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces used during appointments. Our office has always prioritized infection control and operated with precaution to protect our patients and staff from infectious diseases and we will continue to do so in the months and years ahead.
Based on the recommendations of the American Dental Association and North Carolina Dental Board we will be cancelling all non-emergency treatment scheduled for the next three weeks (until April 6, 2020). This is not a decision we make lightly but our office feels compelled to heed the advice of our governing bodies and do our part in protecting our patients and limiting the spread of infection.This is a rapidly changing situation and our office plan is to take things one week at a time as more information is gathered. We will continue to monitor developments and contact you as necessary.
We are here and available for any needed emergency treatment and will be answering the phone during business hours. After hours, we will continue to check our office voicemail and email regularly. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns at (919)-556-2996 or [email protected].
Our entire dental team appreciates your trust. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do for you!
Sincerely,
Dr. Kevin Upton
Dr. Nick Baker
