It’s been a trying time for everyone during the Coronavirus pandemic, but the Spodak Dental Group team is ready to reopen and serve our patients! After weeks of being a part of the solution and not the problem, we will begin seeing patients for routine dental care on Monday, May 11.
While we are excited to reopen and connect with our family of patients, we are taking great steps to not only provide the highest level of care possible but to also ensure a safe environment for our patients and team.
After much careful consideration, we’ve implemented the following three main health-focused additions to our standard of care, which we’ll have in place beginning immediately and will keep in place as long as needed.
Rotating Teams
In an effort to offer continuous service to our patients, we have split our team into two schedules. Our office will now be open from Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. One team will serve patients from Monday through Wednesday, and the second team will serve patients from Thursday through Saturday.
Safety Protocols
While safety has always been a top priority for the entire team, we have implemented new and additional protocols and personal protective equipment to elevate our safety standards to the next level. We are utilizing a thermal scanner that will be used to register the body temperate of all patients and team members prior to anyone entering the building. Additionally, all patients will be asked COVID-related questions when making an appointment, confirming an appointment, and at the time of the appointment.
LEED Gold Certified Facility
Not only does our Gold LEED (Leadership in Environmental Energy and Design) Facility have 66% more fresh air than than code requires, but 88% of our building is lit by sunlight, which research shows is germicial and bactericidal. We've also installed UVC air filtration systems, which kills any germs or bacteria that can cause us to get sick. We are also performing nightly disinfecting protocols with high-grade cleaning products and a fogger that kills the COVID-19 virus.
These are just some of the steps and measures we’ve taken to ensure that we follow a very cautious reopening route with a goal to open sustainably, safely, and for the long term. In fact, the safety measures we’ve put in place are above and beyond the recommended CDC and dental board guidelines, so we are confident we are doing all that we can to ensure the safety of our patients, team and community.
Should you need to reach us to schedule or reschedule an appointment, the best way to reach us is via inform@spodakdental.com or text, (561) 303-2413, or you can make an appointment www.spodakdental.com.

In health,
Your Spodak Dental Group team
