Update 4-27-2020
We want to thank you for your continued patience through this Covid-19 shutdown. We want you to know your treatment and care are extremely important to our office. With the new guidelines set forth by Governor Kate Brown, we wanted to update you on our office availability. We are hopeful to open the office within the next few weeks. This will, however, depend on when the necessary PPE are readily available so that we can ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff. These PPE are in high demand, making ordering a challenge. We are in the process of obtaining the necessary PPE so that we may keep in compliance with CDC guidelines.
When the office re-opens, we will follow the recommended guidelines of having fewer patients per day, along with following the social distancing of 6 feet in the waiting room.
All appointments that were previously scheduled through June 15th, 2020 are still cancelled. We will be rescheduling these appointments as soon as we are able to do so. We will call each patient and help you get scheduled. We will continue to provide updates when available. If you need to contact the office regarding any questions, we will be available Monday – Friday 10:00am – 2:00pm.
Update 5-4-2020
We hope you and your family remain in good health. We have been through a lot in the last several weeks, and all of us are looking forward to resuming a more normal routine. A lot has changed but we remain committed to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our office. Our infection control procedures are made so that when you receive care, it is both safe and comfortable. We follow infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the CDC and OSHA. We follow the activities of the agencies so that we are up to date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies recommendations.
You will see changes at your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff.
At your next appointment:
*Be sure to brush and floss at home. Be thorough – our brushing station will be closed to prevent cross contamination, you will not be able to brush at your appointment.
*Please wear a mask inside our office. When you enter please sanitize your hands, we’ll have sanitizer available.
*We will take your temperature and ask you screening questions.
*If possible please wait in your car until your appointment time, only patients enter the office (we understand this is not advisable for younger patients)
*We no longer have magazines, toys, coffee, etc. available in the waiting room to prevent cross contamination.
*Please be prompt as we need to manage social distancing between patients. We will continue to do our best to keep waiting times to a minimum.
*We will schedule follow up appointments at the completion of each appointment. You can call to reschedule the appointment if necessary.
We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your patience and help as we implement the new steps and processes to keep you and every patient safe.
Thank you for being our patient. We look forward to seeing you as we get started again.

Casey Sayre and Team
