Policies And Protocols Regarding Covid 19 At Dr. Lenny Slepchik’s Office

We are all aware of the many changes Covid 19 has had in our daily life. Our dental office is no exception. Below you will find what we all have done to ensure your safety and well being when you are with us. Click here to learn more about an air purifier that removes 99.6% of Virus-sized particles.

Please feel free to ask questions; as always, we are here to help you.

  1. Reception area; On entering our office, you will immediately notice the plexi glass in front of Diane and Anna. The chairs are spaced 2 metres (6 feet) apart and the floor has tape indicating you are 2 metres away from anyone else getting service at the front desk. All spaces in the reception area are constantly cleaned with an antiseptic. Each patient is asked to wash their hands, answer the important questions regarding their health and their temperature is taken with a no contact thermometer. Please ask Anna or Diane for Perrier or Water. They are happy to get it for you. Gloves, masks and sanitizer are always available if you would like to use them. The coat rack is no longer in use; you may bring your jacket with you to the operatory.
  2. Air Purification System; This is one of the most important investments in our dental office. Each room has its own Dyson Hepa Air Purifier. We also have an additional one in the hallway. This top of the line system has its own continuous monitoring system, active at all times. Indoor air quality is monitored every 12 seconds as well as microscopic particles. Air is purified continuously. Most importantly, the machine tells us when to start the cleaning process when all the particles have settled.
  3. Each room is sealed off. We are following the government prescribed regulations. Originally, we were wearing the blue gowns along with our masks and shields; now everyone is back wearing lab coats over their uniforms. They are wearing specific face shields as well as masks.
  4. Sterilization has always been and will always be essential to this office. We have always followed the strict protocols that Dr. Slepchik has imposed. There are only 2 categories of materials; that which can be sterilized or that which can be thrown away. Using our heat autoclave sterilization system which uses only distilled water, you can feel confident knowing all instruments are sterilized and all disposables are thrown out. Period.
  5. Your hygiene appointment; You may notice your chart is now in a sealed plastic bag. It will be filled out after you leave the room by your hygienist. Every single surface is meticulously cleaned, even if it was not touched. Having the Dyson Hepa Air Purifier is a tremendous aide in monitoring the air quality around you. Our hygienist is wearing her mask, shield and lab coat.
  6. Your dental treatment appointment; Again, your chart is in a sealed plastic bag which will be filled out by Dr. Slepchik when you leave the room. Carmen and Mari, his dental assistants, are also wearing lab coats, mask and face shield as well as Dr. Slepchik.

When you are finished in the back area with Dr. Slepchik, we will verify with the front desk that it is the right time for you to leave our area and book your next appointment. We are ensuring there are never too many patients in our reception area at one time. We now discourage people from dropping by to visit us and encourage patients not to come early nor with a companion to their dental appointments.

All of us hope this specific information puts your mind at ease and allows us to look after and improve your dental health. We have always felt an informed, educated patient is the best way to help you relax during your dental appointment. If you have any questions at all, please let us know. We are happy to answer them.

"I would highly recommend this office. Dr Slepchik did my gingivectomy and the whole team was very professional and attentive as soon as I walked in. They were very transparent about treatment and cost and I would highly recommend his office to anyone looking for cosmetic or dental work. He puts the health of his patients teeth first and does great aesthetic work. The office is very clean and hygienic and I felt very safe with the new protective measures put in place due to Covid."
