The “Virtual Waiting Room” Program for Contactless Check-in

We launched the Virtual Waiting Room program to limit your exposure to other patients and personnel. Follow the simple steps below to participate in this program:

• On the morning of your appointment, you’ll receive a text reminder about our Virtual Waiting Room program.
• When you arrive in the parking lot, stay in your car and text us in the same chat message to let us know that you’re here.
• Once we’re ready for you, we’ll notify you via text to come into the office.

Masks and Hand Sanitizer for Everyone’s Protection

One of our team members will greet you at the door to ensure you’re wearing a mask, take your temperature, show you where to sanitize your hands, and provide you with a COVID-19 screening questionnaire to fill out.

Social Distancing Safeguards to Reduce Your Exposure-

• Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. Please arrive on time to reduce patient-to-patient encounters.
• We kindly ask that patients enter the office alone or keep parents/companions to a minimum. Whenever possible, we ask that parents and younger siblings stay in the car. We would be happy to call you after your child’s visit to discuss appointment details and answer any questions that you may have.

Increased Sanitation and Disinfection to Prevent Spread

High traffic surfaces including door handles, light switches, countertops, chair arms, and faucets are sanitized frequently using EPA-registered disinfectants.

PECO Air Purifiers So You Can Breathe Easier

At your next visit, you may notice new PECO air purifiers installed throughout the office. PECO is an innovative technology that utilizes free radicals to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, and allergens. By using nanotechnology, PECO is able to destroy pollutants 1000 times smaller than required by standard filters to qualify as HEPA.

ADS Extraoral Suction System to Capture Aerosols and Droplets

The practice of dentistry involves the use of rotary handpieces and air-water syringes. These tools create a visible spray that contain large droplets of water, saliva, blood, bacteria, and viruses. While traditional dental offices rely on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect themselves against these contaminated droplets, Fairfield Orthodontics has added an additional layer of protection, the ADS Extraoral Suction System. This system combines superior suction power, medical grade HEPA filtration and UV-C light to effectively capture and destroy bacteria and viruses in contaminated droplets and aerosols.

Virtual Appointments for Your Convenience

Fairfield Orthodontics is proud to announce the launch of our virtual consult portal for all patients, current and new. This means you can now see Dr. Le in the comfort of your own home. You can access the virtual consult portal from the home page of our website.
