COVID-19 Protocols

Dear Patient(s),
We are so very excited to announce that we are once again able to provide dental services for you, our valuable patients.   Oregon Smile Care Center will reopen on 5/1/20
While things are certainly not “business as usual,” we wanted to let you know we are here for you in our clean, comfortable, and safe environment. Our standards are well “above and beyond” what the American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control recommend. We love what we do and the people we do it for.  We are always here for you.
Here are a few things we have done to ensure safety for everyone who comes into our office:

  1. All protocols, methods and materials have been reviewed to ensure that we can provide state-of-the-art sterilization, disinfection systems, and office procedures. Every solution, piece of equipment and instrument was examined to ensure safety for our patients. Safety is our #1 priority.
  2. We will continue to use our autoclave sterilizer to provide additional sterilization capacity.  Weekly testing by the Stage will ensure our sterilization system is effective.
  3. You are welcome to call or text us upon your arrival and wait in your car until we come and get you. Any additional people who are with you should wait in your car for the duration of your appointment. This will allow us to ensure the office is cleaned and ready in between each patient.
  4. We will be limiting our operations: only five patients will be in the office at a time to allow social distancing, as well as complete disinfection of the offices between procedures.
  5. Our patients are scheduled in such a manner to meet and exceed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and CDC Guidelines for Disinfection and Sterilization to disinfect every surface that is touched for your maximum protection.
  6. Upon entering Oregon Smile Care Center you will be asked to sanitize your hands. Additionally, we are requesting you sanitize your hands before re-entering the business areas.
  7. Team members will change into scrubs upon entering the office, so there is no transmission of anything from the outside world into our office or vice versa.
  8. We’re using CaviCide™ throughout our office after each patient. It is the most powerful sanitizing agent available for eliminating germs, bacteria, and viruses. CaviCide™ has FDA approval and is the number one surface disinfectant in the dental industry. It istrusted by leading infection control experts and is strong enough to kill E. Coli, MRSA, Staph, Listeria, Human Coronavirus, TB, Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C Virus, HIV, viruses (hydrophilic and lipophilic), bacteria (including MRSA and VRE), and fungi.

This high level of service is just one of the many ways that we are supporting our community, and it is included in the excellent work that we do…we go through a comprehensive disinfection after every patient is cared for.
Dr. Sean Hanson and all team members here at Oregon Smile Care Center  will continue to go above and beyond for our patients…it is second nature. For this and many other reasons, many of our patients have trusted their care with us for many years.
We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sean Hanson
Oregon Smile Care Center
