Our COVID-19 Safety Protocols at Smile LA

COVID-19

Prioritizing Your Health and Safety

At Smile LA, your safety remains our top priority as we continue to navigate the challenges posed by COVID-19. Our commitment to your well-being drives us to implement the highest standards of safety, ensuring you can receive the dental care you need with complete peace of mind.

How We’re Keeping You Safe

Adhering to Enhanced Safety Measures

Our practice has always been forward-thinking, which is why we’ve implemented a robust safety system that aligns with guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA), Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). You may notice some changes during your next visit, but rest assured, these adjustments are designed to protect you and your loved ones.

KEY SAFETY PROTOCOLS

• Pre-Appointment Screening: We conduct a health questionnaire and no-contact temperature check for every patient before their appointment. This helps us maintain a safe environment for all.

• Sanitized Environment: Our waiting area and treatment rooms are sanitized frequently with hospital-grade disinfectants. We’ve also removed high-touch items like magazines and toys to minimize risk.

• Social Distancing: To reduce the number of people in our office at one time, we’ve implemented sequenced patient scheduling. This means fewer patients in the waiting area and more space between appointments.

• Hand Hygiene: Hand sanitizing stations are available throughout the office, and we kindly ask all patients to sanitize their hands upon entering.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Our dental team wears N95 and ASTM Level 3 masks, face shields, and protective coats to safeguard both you and our staff.

• Advanced Air Purification: We’ve upgraded our HVAC system with HEPA-grade filters and added standalone air purifiers in each treatment room to ensure clean, safe air.

WE TAKE EXTRA STEPS

Additional Safety Enhancements

Virtual Waiting Room

You can now check in from your car and go directly to your treatment room, minimizing contact with others.

Teledentistry Options

Some consultations and follow-up visits can be conducted via our secure, patient communication portal, offering a safe and convenient alternative to in-office visits.

Extended Appointments

To limit your visits, we offer expanded appointments that allow us to complete more treatments in a single visit.

Daily Health Checks for Staff

Our team undergoes daily health screenings, including no-contact temperature checks, to ensure they are healthy and ready to provide safe dental care.

DR. K is amazing! He makes you feel so comfortable and takes great care of you. My teeth are much healthier now and I don’t want to go anywhere else. If you need a dentist office, this one is it. Their annual plan is also really affordable as well.

Dr. K and his staff went above and beyond for me for my fillings! I’m very nervous going to the dentist and he took the time to answer all of my many questions and concerns. His staff also made me feel very comfortable and cared for which is exactly what I needed. Highly recommend coming here for any dental needs, especially if you’re anxious like me Lol.

Came in for the first time to deal with a chipped tooth I needed fixed immediately. The office is really clean and features the latest tech. The team is very professional and nice. I’ve been back a number of times for different treatments in the last couple of months and I highly recommend for anyone in DTLA.

Found this dentist through a quick Google search - honestly was a little hesitant at first but from the moment I arrived I felt nothing but relieved and welcomed. The front desk ladies have been super sweet. Patience is something I’m really big on and I really appreciate how staff took their time to explain things to my understanding. Even the lady that did my full exam was so sweet honestly so glad I found Smile LA Modern Dentistry ! I had an extraction today the doctor did an amazing job numbing me, I didn’t even know the tooth was out!

Dr. Kourosh is the best dentist I’ve ever had! He made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. He explained everything clearly, so I knew what to expect. The whole procedure was easy, and I’m so happy with how my teeth look now. If you want a dentist who really cares and does a great job, go to Dr. Kourosh. I highly recommend him!
