Keeping COVID-19 Safe

A message from Sharon Byrne and Egle Zilinskaite-Tiskuviene – our ORTHO Practice Manager’s

It’s fair to say that the last few months haven’t been easy.  Lockdown life has seen many of us juggle work, home school the kids, look after vulnerable relatives (from a safe distance of course), worry about the health of those closest to us, and generally adapt to a different way of life.

But it feels like we’re starting to turn a corner, so we wanted to share a little update with you.

Our ORTHO practices

In line with Government guidelines, we’re pleased to say that ORTHO  is open again to care for you and your smiles.

Keeping you safe when you visit us

Let’s face it, not many people look forward to going to the orthodontist and that’s without the extra complexity of COVID-19.  So we completely understand you may be more nervous about visiting us than normal.

The truth is, your next visit will be different.  There will be more safety measures in place and consequently, our practice will feel more ‘clinical’.  Our orthodontists and nurses will be wearing more safety clothing and face wear, and our reception teams will be behind screens and wearing masks too.

We’ll also ask you to use hand sanitiser and wear a face mask while in practice (these will be provided), but it’s only for everyone’s protection.

You can find out more about the extra safety measures we’ve introduced and what to expect next time you visit us by looking at our COVID-19 safety charter and short video.

We hope to see you again soon

Please give us a call if you want to discuss your orthodontic treatment, book an appointment or to simply get some more reassurance about the safety measures we have put in place – this is an unusual time for everyone and we’re here to put you at ease.

Please only visit our practice in-person if you have an appointment.  We could be treating a ‘cocooner’ so we need to make sure we don’t have too many people in the practice at the same time.

When you do visit us, we ask that you follow a few simple steps – our teams will explain everything to you when you book, but please take a look at these before you arrive.

Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.
