Your safety is our #1 priority! Our appointments are scheduled farther apart to allow for extra time to disinfect and to encourage social distancing between patients.
Virginia Family Dentistry has been providing dental care to the greater Richmond area for over 40 years. Our practice includes 15 locations and 57 General Dentists and Dental Specialists.
Our Dental Specialists include Orthodontists, Endodontists, Periodontists, Pediatric Dentists, and a Prosthodontist. These Specialists collaborate with our General Dentists to provide comprehensive care for Virginia Family Dentistry patients no matter their age.
Things may look a little different when you come in for your next appointment, but please know that we are taking all of these precautions with the safety of our staff and our patients at the top of our mind. Our staff is in the office today conducting a deep cleaning and being trained on our new procedures.
Our new procedures are listed below. Please take the time to read through them before coming into the office. Our top priority is safety, for both you and for our staff.
1.Our staff has been equipped with the highest level of PPE available. The clinical staff has access to N95/KN95 respirators, face shields, gowns, and hair coverings. Our front desk and administrative staff will be wearing masks and eye protection at all times.
2.All patients will be asked to present to their appointments alone, unless the patient is a minor or in need of a caregiver. Anyone entering the building is required to wear a face covering.
3.Both patients and staff will have a screening with their temperature taken upon arrival to the building. Anyone who does not pass the screening questions or temperature check will not be allowed access to the building.
4.Shared objects have been removed from waiting rooms and furniture will be rearranged to encourage social distancing. The waiting room and bathrooms will be disinfected after each use.
5.Appointments will be scheduled to allow for extra time after each patient. This is to allow for extra disinfection time and to encourage social distancing between patients. We want to ensure that appointments are timely and no patient is in the waiting room for an extended period of time.
6.We have High Volume Evacuation in all treatment rooms, and have changed some of our procedures and technology for a 90% reduction in aerosols.
7.SD-90, a long-lasting antimicrobial treatment, has been applied to all surfaces in our offices.
8.All of our locations have OSO-Pure water filtration systems installed in-line to our incoming water supply. This allows for multi-stage filtration as well as ultraviolet disinfection for 99.9% viable bacterial reduction.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time. We value your trust in us and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors, and friends.
Can’t wait to see your smiling face (even if it’s behind a mask)!- Virginia Family Dentistry Team
