Dear Patient(s),

We are excited to have the opportunity to welcome you back!

Our office has always utilized personal protective equipment (PPE) that has exceeded all the CDC guidelines, however, in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic we have instituted additional guidelines and protocols to ensure your safety.

You will see many changes, as we have new ways of scheduling your appointments and managing your insurance and financial transactions. First, you will be contacted 48-72 hours prior to your appointment via phone, text or email and asked a set of health-related questions. It is required that we complete this questionnaire prior to your appointment. We will have to reschedule your appointment if we are unable to complete this step. Below is a list of some of the enhanced precautions we have taken to protect you in addition to extensive team training on infection control and patient management procedures.

Personalized arrival procedures to guide you from your car directly to treatment rooms to eliminate contacting surfaces.
Maintain distancing in the reception area for essential caregivers and parents of minors if they cannot wait in a vehicle or outside the clinic.
Removed magazines and items that can harbor or transfer germs of any kind. Hand sanitizers will be positioned throughout the clinic.
Providing more education materials to enhance your awareness of health issues related to this pandemic.
We require a mask to be worn by ALL patients upon entering the office.
Installed sneeze guards or droplet barriers at all reception areas.
Require hand washing and hand sanitizing before all appointments by our team and by our patients.
Introduce an oral pre rinse by all patients to reduce exposure to germs.
Require all team members to undergo periodic testing for COVID-19 and antibodies for the earliest detection of exposure should it exist.
Record temperature of every patient upon entering the office.
Record the temperature and lung efficiency of every team member each day at beginning and end of work period.
Payment arrangements in advance to avoid delay and allow contactless exit from the appointment.
Enhanced operatory disinfection procedures of all surfaces between patients.
Ambient air management with HEPA 13 air filtration continuously in treatment rooms and common areas to remove germs from circulating air.
Enhanced HVAC disinfection with UV light or HEPA Filtration units.
Enhanced operatory disinfection procedures before and after all appointments with mist or fogging devices to access hard to reach places that can be easily missed.
New personal protection equipment like visors, gowns, and masks for our doctors and team to provide barriers against the smallest of germs.
Introduce protocols to reduce or eliminate airborne aerosols during all dental procedures.
Enhanced nightly disinfection procedures of equipment and office fixtures like computers, keyboards, telephones, tablets, chairs, doorknobs, and buttons that may be touched unconsciously.
Disinfection of all outside mail and packages that enter the building.
Longer appointment times for you to prepare and complete all appointment tasks and duties in the safest and most comprehensive manner.

Veneers Create Stunning Smiles in Royal Oak

May 11, 2010

Veneers have myriad applications in Royal Oak cosmetic dentistry. With veneers, you can transform your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Is your tooth enamel worn and thin? Tooth-colored porcelain veneers have the translucency of healthy tooth enamel. Many Royal Oak, Berkley, and Warren dental clients have received veneers to cover worn enamel. Some believe they look twenty years younger!

Have your teeth developed uneven edges? Tooth grinding, natural wear and other factors can roughen tooth edges. Veneers are a minimally invasive correction for uneven tooth edges. Veneers are a popular treatment for Royal Oak cosmetic dentistry patients.

Do you have chips or cracks in your teeth? If your teeth are otherwise healthy, veneers provide a flawless tooth surface. Are your teeth yellow or gray? Veneers can fix that, too. Veneers can be fabricated in any shade to perk up your smile while still blending naturally with your skin tones.

Porcelain veneers are paper-thin, tooth-shaped covers that are affixed to the front of teeth. Traditional veneers require the removal of a thin layer of tooth structure.

Veneers are strong, natural looking and one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures in Royal Oak, Warren, and Berkley areas. Veneers are usually far less expensive than complete crowns, yet they are just as strong and beautiful.

Royal Oak aesthetic dentists love veneers because they correct a multitude of tooth problems. At Duffield Dentistry, we would be happy to show you what veneers can do for you. We are located at 2009 Crooks Road in Royal Oak. We provide premium dental care for many of your friends and neighbors. Our phone number is (248) 541-1388.
