COVID-19 NOTICES

YOUR SAFETY - OUR PRIORITY!

As COVID-19 continues to shape our day-to-day lives, here at Whalestooth Dental we remain committed to your safety. Some additional steps that we’ve taken to keep you safe:

Appointment Care

Patients are no longer required to wear masks unless it is their preference to do so
If you have traveled recently or suspect you may have been exposed to COVID-19 please contact our office. A negative COVID-19 test result may be requested prior to being seen.

While we understand that some may find additional protocols burdensome, we ask for your patience and understanding as we strive to care for our community.

CURRENT OFFICE SCHEDULE

UPDATED 5/19/2020

Please note our schedule could change on short notice.

We are very excited to announce that after 2 months of only being able to treat emergency patients, we have been given the clear to open for all appointments!!

However, we can not operate at the capacity we have prior. Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients, this means we will be seeing fewer patients in a day. That might mean a longer period between now and your next appointment.

We appreciate your patience as we work hard to get you back on the calendar.

COVID-19 SURCHARGE

UPDATED 5/14/2020

We've had to make the tough decision to add a $40 COVID fee to each appointment. We do not take this decision lightly as we are well aware of the economic strains many are facing. However, to continue operation under a drastic increase in costs of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the necessity of adding more time to appointments, and other overhead this increase is unavoidable.

At the same time we are continually looking for ways to streamline processes where we can. One way is to decrease the time we spend on billing. One aspect of this is having patients with insurance pay at time of service and have the insurance payment go directly to the patient.

We continue to offer ALL patients a 5% discount for paying in full by cash or check at time of service.
