Dental Services
As we reopen our dental practices, CommWell Health’s top priority is the safety and wellness of our patients, their families, and our team. We have been closely monitoring all recommendations and mandates from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners and state and local governments to ensure that we are taking every necessary precaution to prevent any exposure to COVID-19 in our dental practices.
We’re paying special attention to every detail – from patient arrival, to procedure, to check out – and we are instituting a new COVID-19 policy and protocols for all appointments. Please review these important guidelines and we politely ask for your patience as we navigate this new and initially limited means of treating our family of patients.
Scheduling Or Rescheduling An Appointment
We are now available to schedule appointments. We ask for your patience as we are operating on a limited schedule initially and making every effort to prioritize the most urgent needs. If you are scheduling an appointment with our dental practices, please call 1-877-WELL-ALL (1-877-935-5255). We’ll be happy to answer any questions regarding our safety protocols and discuss any paperwork requirements prior to your visit

Our Sanitation Protocols
A properly managed dental office has always been a very safe environment for patients, staff and doctors. Here is what we’re doing to ensure patient health is protected during your visit:
-
We sanitize our public areas such as our Eagle Suites (waiting rooms), registration areas, tables, door handles and other hard surfaces after each visit.
-
We thoroughly clean each clinical room including wiping down all potential areas of contact such as doorknobs, chairs, and equipment with medical-grade disinfectant wipes between each patient.
-
Our office is being vigilant about frequent hand washing and regular use of hand sanitizer between each patient encounter, as is standard for our practice.
-
Doctors and clinical staff have been trained in the proper use of personal protective equipment to include masks, shields, goggles, and gloves as per CDC recommendations for direct health care facilities.
-
We instruct any employee who feels ill to stay home and consult their healthcare providers.
