At this time we encourage all of our patients that are eligible for the CDCP to apply. For the time being our office is only accepting the CDCP for existing patients. Please inform us you are on CDCP when booking your next appointment. We are unable to accept new patients under the CDCP until further [...]
There are finally more signs of getting back to normal! The mandates have relaxed, and I’m feeling more hopeful of returning to a life that existed before COVID. Like many others, I am still cautious in crowded places. Even though the case numbers have decreased, there is still virus being spread out there, and I’m [...]
Since our return to work, we’ve become more accustomed to our extra COVID protocols. I have found that one of the biggest challenges is our ‘traffic control’ in our little space. We have a limit of 4 patients in the reception area, and it has become an issue when we have patients arriving early and [...]
All our staff have been back since mid-July, and we are operating at about 60% of pre-COVID levels. Our greatest challenge has been the traffic control of our patients in the reception area, as we have people coming and going all the time.

It’s taken longer than we’d hoped, but we understand, [...]
We have received many calls requesting appointments, but we are not yet prepared to open. Personal protective equipment, especially masks, are scarce and on back order. We had donated ours at the beginning of the crisis and now we can’t get any for ourselves to use. We are still working on building in an air [...]
Great news! On May 6th, Premier Horgan announced that dental offices can plan to reopen in the near future. We have not been given a precise date for commencement, and our College of Dental Surgeons has not yet given us the affirmation either. We envision opening in late May or early June. We know that [...]
This is an unprecedented time in my years! Through much deliberation over the weekend, watching the news, conversing with our colleague friends, and waiting for direction from our governing bodies, Angelique and I went in this morning to advise everyone that we have decided to close the office for at least two weeks or [...]
For those who didn’t get a chance to see her before June, Aimée has moved back to her home town of Winnipeg to be closer to her family and to fulfill her dream of purchasing a house. Aimée started out as a Certified Dental Assistant in our office and then went back to school [...]
