ALL the Dentists at Amherstburg Dental NOW PARTICIPATE in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). Now that the program has been more normalized, we are all participating. The goal of this program is to provide dental care to ALL patients in Canada who do not have dental insurance. We will be moving away from programs in the near future like Accerta that do NOT provide patients with sufficient benefits for dental treatment. We encourage patients that have inferior government sponsored programs like Accerta to apply for the CDCP. We may not be able to treat you if you have insufficient government coverage other than CDCP. Here is a link for more details: https://www.rcdso.org/en-ca/cdcp Please call our office at 519 736-4073 to schedule your first visit with us if you qualify for this program and wish to find out more details.

As we face yet ANOTHER stay at home order during yet another shutdown, Amherstburg Dental remains open to serve all your dental needs including emergency and elective dental services like cleanings. We have all been vaccinated and we screen for all COVID cases. We DO NOT treat patients suspect of being exposed to COVID and use the highest standard for PPE and infection protocol as demanded by our profession. Please DO NOT ignore your oral health and please go to the dentist. We are here to help you. Call Amherstburg Dental at 519 736-4073. Thanks Dr. Z

 

DON'T WAIT! to see the dentist. Just a reminder that even during "LOCKDOWN" we ARE OPEN! Dental offices are considered essential services. So even though our area have been declared "grey" and in "lockdown" by public health advisors for at least 28 days, Dentists are among health care providers that CAN STAY OPEN using the current protocols; in effect mandated by the governing body of our profession. So IT IS SAFE to go to the dentist as I stated in several previous posts. We will NOT BE CANCELLING procedures and we ARE ABLE to perform all procedures until otherwise instructed. The most important tool we have to fight COVID is patient screening. We DO NOT treat COVID positive patients in our office or patients who are suspect of coming into contact with COVID. We were safe before COVID and continue to be even safer during the ongoing pandemic. If you are waiting "until this is over", you're going to be waiting years. Please DO NOT neglect your teeth. Feel free to call Amherstburg Dental if you need our help at 519 736-4073.

 

We have always used the best PPE protocol and infection control techniques in our dental office as mandated by our profession even before this pandemic. Since we returned to practice in June, we have used a heightened protocol for the safety of our staff, our office, and our patients. However, the most important tool we have to fight COVID is patient screening. We DO NOT treat COVID positive patients in our office or patients who are suspect of coming into contact with COVID.

Patients are screened twice by our staff before they are allowed to enter our building, screened again by our staff upon arrival and screened again by their attending dentist before they even enter any treatment area. We screen our staff and dentists twice daily and monitor our health throughout the day. It is SAFE to go to the dentist. Please DO NOT neglect your oral health. We are continuing to provide ALL dental care including regular exams and cleanings. Call Amherstburg Dental at 519 736-4073 to schedule your appointment today.

Amherstburg Dental has always maintained the best infection control and cross contamination elimination protocols due to the stringent standards demanded by our profession. We meet all of the updated current provincial guidelines for the management of COVID-19 safety. Our goal is to strive to exceed all infection protection and control protocols with enhanced measures. For your safety, we wish to go well above and beyond the guidelines for the 'new normal' in-person dental care as set by our professional governing bodies.  We have enhanced our dental office with new office renovations designed to help keep you safe and our staff safe; as we always have.     We are now OPEN to serve all your dental needs which include routine dental work like FILLINGS, EXAMS, and CLEANINGS. We are free to perform crowns, bridges, implant restoration and many other ELECTIVE services. We are happy to report that we are able to perform all deferred, non-essential, and elective services that we were unable to perform during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are available to existing and NEW PATIENTS for emergency and urgent care. We have 3 full-time dentists to serve all of your family dentistry and cosmetic dentistry needs.  We hope to see all of you very soon!

Please call Amherstburg Dental at 519 736-4073 at your earliest convenience to make an appointment today.
