Our office continues to be  committed to promoting oral health while safeguarding our community from the effects of the  COVID-19 pandemic. New information suggests that individuals with periodontal disease may be at a higher risk of developing complications if infected with COVID-19. As a result, it is critical to maintain periodontal health with ongoing maintenance and active treatment when needed. We want to reassure you that our office follows the highest infection control standards set forth by the CDC, ADA, OSHA and the State of Colorado. We have implemented additional precautions and systems to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients and staff.
