COVID-19
We are open for all services and in-person care. We encourage current patients to continue with treatment to maintain good oral health, and we welcome new patients. We are continuing to work closely with the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) as well as the Ontario Government in monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and in implementing all recommended safety measures necessary.
​
In instituting measures to maintain the health and safety of patients, staff, and visitors, we have exceeded the current recommendations while continuing to follow our strict infection control protocols. These protocols are carried out to ensure you and your family can receive excellent dental care in a safe environment.
​
All of our disinfection and sterilization procedures are continued as in our strict pre-pandemic protocol following IPAC's high standards.
