COVID-19 Updates

Infection control and sterilization have always been a priority for our dentist and team. Our goal is to make A Best Care of Dentistry a safe, clean and healthy environment for you and your family. We have implemented a number of additional protocols, including:

• Prescreening measures and questions for all patients before and during visits.
• Temperature taken with a forehead thermometer at each visits. If your temperature is higher than 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit, you will be asked to leave and reschedule your appointment.
• Face masks are required for all patients.
• We ask that you use the hand sanitizer stations provided.
• Preexamination and pretreatment rinses will be provided.
• We will provide you with gloves to prevent contact with surfaces and reduce the risk of acquiring any contaminants.
• Our team will use KN95 masks, face shields, disposable gowns and goggles while meeting with each patient.
• All surfaces will be wiped down after each patient in addition to routine disinfection protocols.
• Medical-grade air filters have been placed in each treatment room and throughout the offices.
• Appointments are staggered to allow for minimal contact between individuals in the building.
• Physical distancing is observed.
• We may ask you to wait in your car and call or text our office when you arrive. Our front desk will notify you when our team is ready to meet with you.
• UV light systems are in each room to kill bacteria.
• Aerosol suction is used at each chair to reduce the risk of airborne particles.

We welcome you to call us at 310-756-6559 if you have any questions about our infection control and sterilization measures in Los Angeles, California, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Cristine Zapanta-Chavez.
