The Orthodontic Gallery remains open. 

This weekend the Government announced a second national lockdown to begin on Thursday 5th November.

The Orthodontic Gallery will remain open throughout the month long lockdown. Sara Hurley, Chief Dental Officer has confirmed that dentists and dentistry will remain open during the four week lockdown. It is both safe and essential to attend the orthodontist and you are encouraged to keep your appointments to maintain your dental health. It’s important to note that Orthodontic treatment was deemed ‘Low Risk’ throughout the first wave of the pandemic and we have introduced enhanced safety measures to all but eliminate transfer risk at the practice.

At The Orthodontic Gallery we are expertly trained health care professionals, maintaining the highest possible standard of cross infection control. With all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and a robust covid screening policy to ensure both the safety of our staff and our patients, so we can continue to deliver essential dental health care.

We continue to have your safety as our main priority with;

• Covid Triage Screens
• Temperature Checks
• PPE for Staff and for Patients
• Enhanced Disinfection Protocols
• Fallow Times
• Air Filtration & Purification
• Telephone Payments
• Online Forms

Please attend your appointments as planned. There is no need to try and move your appointment forward to before Thursday 5th of November, we will not be able to accommodate your request as the diary is already booked.

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND if you have Covid-19 symptoms or you have been in contact with covid+ persons. Please call us on 0208 551 9336 to rearrange.

Thank you,
