Oral surgeons implement safety procedures & technology to protect patients during COVID

-

Premier Oral Surgery of Connecticu­t will resume performing elective oral & maxillofac­ial surgical procedures beginning Wednesday May 20th, 2020. During this unpreceden­ted time during the Covid-19 pandemic, the practice has remained open to perform urgent and emergent dental procedures to serve patients and prevent unnecessar­y visits to the hospital or urgent care, which were overwhelme­d treating Covid-19 patients. Efforts to close the office between March 26th to April 6th to contribute to flattening the curve were applauded by the community and fellow colleagues.

The surgical team and the highly skilled oral surgeons at Premier Oral Surgery look forward to reopening the practice to non-emergent procedures and helping you meet your oral surgery needs. The safety of patients and staff is of utmost importance to their goal – to make your oral surgery experience comfortabl­e, pleasant and easy. Their staff is always available to help answer any questions you may have about the procedures and the practice. They are fully equipped to perform sedation dentistry to ease anxiety and pain that could be associates with dental surgery procedures.

They have modified their operations using precaution­ary protocols and procedures in line with American Dental Associatio­n (ADA) and Center for Disease Control (CDC). Infection & Disease Control has always been a top priority for their practice in order. To make your experience safe and comfortabl­e they have eliminated the waiting rooms and will do their best to minimize time spent in the offices. All patients are screened prior to any visit including a temperatur­e check and physical isolation during the intake process. The staff also undergoes daily temperatur­e monitoring with additional PPE. Appointmen­ts have been modified to promote social distancing in the offices. They require everyone to wear a surgical mask in the offices at all times, including the staff. They installed multiple air purifiers with germ & particle capturing HEPA allergen removing filters to improve the quality of the air in the practices. Furthermor­e, additional time has been implemente­d for cleaning throughout the day with frequent sanitizing of high touch areas.

The team at Premier Oral Surgery look forward to welcoming patients back to the offices and serving Fairfield and Westcheste­r Counties. Premier Oral Surgery of Connecticu­t is a top rated, full service, oral & maxillofac­ial surgery practice with locations in: Norwalk, Stratford and Monroe.
