IMPORTANT COVID-19 INFORMATION ABOUT OUR PRACTICE

Based on information from the State Health Department, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Dental Association (ADA), we have reopened our practice. We have always followed the strict infection control recommendations made by the ADA and CDC to the highest standards, but as a result of COVID-19, we have enhanced our usual practices even more to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. When it is time for your visit, you'll notice some of these changes:

  • *Please wear a mask to your appointment.* Starting July 10, a Columbia city ordinance will require anyone 10 years and older to wear a face mask if closer than six feet to other people.
  • If possible, we encourage you to fill out patient forms ahead of your appointment online. You can also use our online patient portal to request appointments, view your treatment history, and make payments. Sign up is free.  
  • You will be asked to answer a screening questionnaire prior to your visit. If you have COVID-19 related symptoms, we will reschedule your visit.
  • You may bring only one caregiver to accompany you to your appointment. We ask that all other family members, such as children, stay home.
  • Upon your arrival, please remain in your vehicle and call our office. Our staff will greet you there and will conduct check-in, including a temperature check. 
  • We are not offering our usual magazines and children's toys at this time, since they are difficult to disinfect.
  • All appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients.
  • We may ask you to check-out in the treatment room if social distancing is not feasible due to traffic in the front desk area.

Additionally, you will notice our staff wearing increased masks and personal protective equipment. We will miss hugging our patients, extending warm hand shakes, and sharing smiles with you. But please know that we are with you in spirit and are adopting these measures to ensure that your visit will be in the cleanest and safest environment we can provide.

Sincerely,
Dr. Cheong and the dental team
