Notice of Temporary Closure

Dear Patients,

Our top priority is the health and well-being of our patients, staff, and community. To that end, we have decided to postpone all elective procedures until further notice, in accordance with COVID-19 guidance provided by the American Dental Association.

As health care professionals, we believe we have a role to play in “flattening the curve” in order to follow sound, scientific public health advice to help limit infections and slow the spread of the coronavirus. Our office will be closely reviewing our appointment schedule. If you have a non-urgent appointment scheduled with us this week, our office will be in touch to help reschedule your appointment.

Dr. Ostdick will be available on-call in the event of a dental emergency. Examples of orthodontic emergencies are listed below. If you are experiencing one of the dental emergencies, please call our office so we can address it as soon as possible and keep your orthodontic treatment on track. If you are not sure if you need an emergency appointment, please call our office and we will help you assess the situation.

Orthodontic Emergencies

1. Anything causing pain or discomfort
2. Loose bands, brackets, poking wires, broken wires
3. Missing o-rings or broken power chains
4. Lost, broken or poorly fitting retainers
5. Lost, broken or using your last Invisalign appliance
6. Need for more rubber bands, wax or other auxiliaries
7. Lost spacers

 

We did not make this decision lightly. A great deal of research and planning guided our decision. We believe that by taking these extraordinary precautions, we can make a difference in helping to preserve the limited supply of personal protective equipment critical for emergency dental care and frontline health care personnel responding to the pandemic. We will continue to evaluate the situation as it evolves and determine when it is appropriate for us to return to normal business hours.

Again, please understand that we are making this decision with the health and well-being of our patients, our families, our dental team, and the community in mind.

Please stay safe and healthy.

Sincerely,

Wayne W. Ostdick, DDS, MS
