April 8, 2021 Update: Our Calgary Dentist Continues to Provide All Dental Services in NW Calgary (Kensington/Hillhurst/Sunnyside)

As Alberta once again moves to increased COVID-19 restrictions, we wish to advise our patients that we continue to be open as usual to serve our dental patients and provide all dentistry services, including dental hygiene cleanings, dental check-ups, and all other general dentistry services by our Calgary dentist, Dr. Dirk Thompson. 

As always, the health and well-being of our patients, team members and community remain our priority.  Our goal is to continue to provide you with exceptional dental care in a warm and caring environment, while at the same time strictly following all COVID-19 enhanced infection protection and prevention protocols established by the ADA&C and Alberta Health Services, including the following:

• Ensuring social distancing protocols are adhered to at our dental office, with some necessary exceptions.
• Placing a physical barrier at our dental reception desk.
• Requiring patients to wear a mask and perform hand hygiene before entering and leaving our dental office.
• Wearing enhanced personal protective equipment.
• Screening for COVID-19 symptoms and risk factors of all patients, team members and visitors to our dental office.
• No-contact temperature taking for all patients and dental team members.
• Cleaning the reception area with appropriate disinfectants frequently and after every patient.
• Minimizing the number of patients in the reception area by spacing out dental appointment and check-out times.
• On request, setting aside special appointment times for high-risk patients.

We have also taken the extra precautionary measure of placing portable HEPA filtration units in every dental operatory.  For more information regarding the COVID-19 specific procedures instituted at our Calgary dentist office, we invite you to review our dedicated COVID-19 web page which is accessible at the top of our main page.
