COVID-19 Precautions:
Patient’s safety is our #1 priority, and it starts with comprehensive cleaning and sterilization in all the areas of our office.
Even before the pandemic, Dr. Dena (San Diego Premier Dental Group) had stringent protocols in place for cleaning and disinfecting our office, but now we’ve added more. Our regular infection control and sterilization practices have always exceeded the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Dr. Dena (San Diego Premier Dental Group) has taken the steps needed to meet and exceed safety protocols in order to keep our patients and staff safe.
What To Expect At Your Next Dental Appointment:
