Coronavirus update - NewSmile Dental Perth

We are still taking additional measures to ensure your safety and that of our staff and community at this time.

While risk of COVID-19 transmission in WA at this time is extremely low, we are still proceeding with every caution and care, and have you and the community’s safety as our greatest objective. In fact owing to our cautious and safety-oriented approach, we originally elected to restrict our services before the government and the ADA called for it.

We continue to eliminate risk to our patients of any type of infection. As well as our usual highest levels of infection control, we have taken additional steps to protect the health and welfare of all our patients and staff at this time. These include:

• Temperature screening with non-contact infrared forehead thermometer upon arrival;
• Use of alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) upon arrival;
• Patient screening and disclosure of travel history, health symptoms and potential COVID-19 exposure;
• Physically distanced seat distancing in the reception area;
• Request to remain in your car until we are ready to see you, where possible;
• Request to not bring friends or family into the premises with you where possible;
• Additional Personal Protective Equipment for our team (please excuse us if we look more “spaceman” than usual at times!)
• Pre-procedural patient hand-wash in the clinic;
• Pre-procedural 1.5% Hydrogen Peroxide mouth-rinse for 30 seconds;
• Treatment provided in strict adherence to ADA Guidelines;
• Use of “rubber dam” whenever practicable for a dental procedure, to minimise aerosol and make treatment more comfortable for patients;
• We are also making available the option of remote video consultation with a dentist for specific enquiries, such as initial discussions about full mouth implant or reconstruction treatments.
