COVID-19 UPDATE FOR OUR PATIENTS (22/09/20)
Hygienist Update
Dear Patient,
Following our phased re opening from Monday 8th June, we have been hard at work to resume care and treatment for our Hygiene patients.
Due to changes in NHS/Government guidelines on the use of Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGPs) there has been a great impact in the way we can deliver our high standard of Dental Hygiene care.
In order to adhere to these guidelines, the use of an Ultrasonic Scaler (the water instrument used predominantly during cleaning) cannot be used until guidelines have changed and it is deemed safe to do so.
Instead, our Hygienist will be using a range of high quality designed hand instruments to achieve the same excellent high standard of care we strive for, which will be more comfortable for those with sensitivity and deliver the same clean feeling that you get after a good clean with our Hygienist.
Due to changes mentioned above and increased costs in updating practice facilities and sourcing Personal Protective Equipment to keep you safe whilst you visit the practice and our team safe whilst treating during this time, we have had to make the difficult decision to increase our Dental Hygiene charges.
The updated fee list is as followed:
30minute appointment - £52
60 minute appointment - £105
We are prioritising booking our patients that needed to cancel earlier in the year due to the lockdown and will contact you individually to rebook.
Yours Sincerely
Abbey Dental Team
