What we promise you are precise, caring services that put you and your oral health care first. Help keep your overall health intact by caring for your oral health!

***UPDATED NOTICE***

To our valued patients:

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. We thank you for your patience and understanding with our limited ability to provide dental services during the COVID-19 crisis. Fortunately, however, British Columbia is now beginning a new phase in our COVID-19 response. As part of Phase 2 of BC’s response to COVID-19, we have been approved by our regulatory bodies to resume non-emergency dental services. As such, as of May 25th, our office will begin to provide limited dental services with a gradual return to “dental normalcy” over time.

Although our office has always utilized the highest standards exceeding both BCCDC and CDSBC guidelines, in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented the following additional protocols/instructions to enhance your safety:

1. We will ask you a set of health-related questions that will need to be completed prior to your appointment. 
2. Please notify us upon your arrival to the building but stay in your vehicle or wait at the front entrance. A staff member will then give you further instructions on how to proceed.
3. There will be a concierge in the front lobby who will instruct you to sanitize your hands and put on a mask if you are not already wearing one. They will also confirm which office you are visiting.
4. For social distancing purposes, everyone will be encouraged to use the stairs unless mobility or health history are concerns. We have two stairwells in the building. One will be designated for going up the stairs and the other for going down the stairs. 
5. The door between the parkade and the lobby will be locked. If you require assistance and cannot use stairs, please contact us and someone will assist you.
6. Maintain appropriate physical distancing (6 feet or 2 meters) and limit accompanying personnel (caregivers / parents / guardians) to a maximum of 1 person (only if needed). They should wait for you in their car or outside the building. If your accompaniment needs to join you at your appointment, they will also need to answer the pre-appointment screening questions.
7. We have installed plexiglass barriers in the receptions area and have also removed all non-essential items (i.e. magazines).  
8. Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the office.
9. You will be provided with an oral rinse before each appointment.
10. All staff are required to hand-wash or hand-sanitize before and after all appointments.
11. All staff will undergo daily screening for COVID.
12. We have installed enhanced air purification devices and aerosol capturing and decontaminating devices.
13. We have implemented enhanced disinfection/decontamination protocols with specialized equipment.
14. Enhanced personal protective equipment (this may include surgical gowns, face shields, scrub caps, and of course masks and gloves) will be worn by our staff during all procedures.

Some of these measures may change as we understand more about the novel coronavirus, but in the meantime, these protocols are based on the most current available information/guidelines from the College of Dental Surgeons of BC, BC Centre for Disease Control, Office of the Provincial Health Officer and WorkSafe BC.

We look forward to seeing you again or meeting you for the first time and thank you in advance for your patience as we implement the aforementioned strategies to help keep everyone safe.

Sincerely,

Drs. Han & Lee and Staff

While we primarily serve the Greater Vancouver Area, we have patients from Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, Montreal, Indonesia, the United States, and elsewhere. And we also lecture all over the world!
