• Initiation of any crowns, bridges, or dentures that do not address or prevent pain or restore normal oral functioning
• Any periodontal plastic surgery
• Extraction of asymptomatic non-carious teeth
• Recall visits for periodontally healthy patients
• Delay all appointments for high risk patients, including ASA 2 and 3 patients, unless it is an emergency
If you have a dental emergency, please contact our office to discuss your situation with our staff and to set an appointment, if appropriate.
