As with any healthcare issue Dental Concepts takes cross contamination seriously. The approach towards the spread and potential contamination of Corona Virus is the same as all other potential threats.
The practice will continue to uphold its exemplary standards of Cross infection with the use of Face Masks, hand sanitary care and hospital standards of instrument sterilization as well as the use of disposable items where applicable.
We only encourage the postponement of treatment to patients who have traveled to the affected areas which can be found on the NHS website here
We ask you to postpone your appointment by 14 days if you have recently travelled to any of these areas. We thank you for your understanding.
Can masks protect against the new coronavirus infection?
Unfortunately, because of the relative difficulty in obtaining face masks, we cannot offer to supply our patients with face masks. Naturally, there are hand sanitisers in all areas of the surgery both clinical and non-clinical for staff and Patient use.
Policy for Short Notice Cancellation (SNC) Charges for Appointments
Have you been to an affected place in the last 14 days? Have you had contact with somebody with coronavirus? Do they have a fever, coughing or shortness of breath?
If you answer yes to any of the above, you will not be required to attend your appointment and you will not be charged. For patients attending our dentist in Andover, this policy helps ensure appointments are managed safely for everyone.
If you are considering Dental Implants in Andover, please contact our dental team if you need to cancel or rearrange your appointment. For any other reason for cancellation or non-attendance, the normal Short Notice Cancellation (SNC) charge will apply.
