Return to Regular Dental Care at Kingston West Dental Centre
We hope all is well with you and your family during these challenging times.
Many of our patients have been forced to wait for dental care due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we appreciate everyone’s understanding while we were closed to prevent the spread of the virus. We are committed to providing for the dental needs of our patients and fully restoring services as soon as possible.
We are happy to say our office has re-opened for patient treatment and our hours of operation will be Tuesday to Thursday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm through July and August and regular office hours will resume after Labour Day.
Please contact us and we will be happy to reschedule appointments that had to be cancelled due to the state of emergency and directives issued by the Ministry of Health, the provincial government and our regulatory bodies.
Dental appointments will be triaged and prioritized based on emergency and urgent care needs.
For those of you who choose to wait a while longer before resuming care, we'll be here and ready to see you upon your return.
Previously scheduled upcoming dental hygiene appointments for cleanings remain in our system. You will receive appointment reminders two weeks prior to your scheduled appointment. Should you need to make any changes to your upcoming dental hygiene appointments please let us know as soon as possible and we'll be happy to assist you.
We are taking extensive precautionary measures to ensure the safety of our patients and staff that we have outlined below.
First, we are fully compliant with infection control procedures set by the RCDSO, the CDHO as well as health regulations set by the Ministry of Health.
We have also changed our appointment procedures and taken other safety measures to provide a safe dental appointment. These include;
