We are now open for routine dentistry and dental hygiene to take care of your dental needs once again. Urgent and emergency appointments are available and new patients are welcome.
Safety is the key message. The appropriate clinical safety guidelines will be determined by the Ministry of Health and the Dental Council, and we will continue to follow and monitor official advice to protect the health and safety of you, and our staff, during this changeable environment.
We look forward to seeing you all again and would like to thank you for your patience and continuing support as we all unite against covid-19 during this unprecedented time
We will continue to apply strict safety measures in order to keep our patients, staff and the community safe. This includes:
• Having our Contact Tracing QR code and hand sanitiser available on arrival into the practice.
• A peroxyl mouth rinse may be given at the beginning of your dental appointment.
• The appropriate PPE will be worn for the given treatment. A guideline has been created by the MoH & the Dental Council of New Zealand outlining this.
• Scheduling in a way that allows for patients to have minimal contact with others and allows for systematic disinfection and sterilization.
• A limit of one person into the practice for appointments and exceptions will be made for chaperones and guardians as required.
• If you are unwell, please do not come to the clinic and call us to reschedule your appointment
• Health screening and medical history updates can now be completed before you come into the practice through our Patient Portal you will find a link to the portal in your reminder email which is sent 3 days before your appointment.
We are here to help, so if you are unsure or have any questions, please call or email us.
Take care and stay safe.
The team at Smile Design Dental Group.
