As these uncertain times continue to develop regarding the spread of COVID-19, we are doing everything we can to ensure our patients overall health and dental needs are being met. In response to the recommendations from the American Dental Association and the New York State Dental Association, we will be modifying our business hours and capacity to help protect our patients, our team members, and our community.
Our practice will remain open with limited hours to care for patients who require non-elective or emergency dental treatment. As always, our 24-hour emergency line will remain available for all patients.
Beginning this week, we will be rescheduling routine cleanings and elective dental appointments until after the risk of COVID-19 has been reduced.
These modifications will be evaluated on a daily basis and our normal operations will be resumed as soon as it is safe to do so.
For those patients who require care, we will continue to carry out the recommended measures from the CDC to help reduce the potential incidence of COVID-19, including screening for recent travel, fever, respiratory and flu like symptoms. Our practice will also continue to carry our strict infection control practices, appropriate use of personal protection equipment, and periodic disinfection of the entire practice.
We appreciate your patience and understanding through these challenging times. As circumstances continue to rapidly evolve, we will provide updates as soon as possible. If you have a dental emergency or have any questions, please call our practice at 607-785-3339, or email us at vestaldental@gmail.com.
