Patient Info

At Dyme Dental our patient’s and our staff’s health and safety are a top priority. As always we continue to utilize personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with all CDC guidelines. Additionally, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic we have instituted extra guidelines and protocols to ensure your safety and the safety of our team. Please call our office (847-657-0535) from your car so we can walk you through our procedures for your appointment. 

You will also notice changes in the new ways we schedule your appointments. We will be contacting you 24-48 hours prior to your appointment to ask a set of health-related questions and will be performing temperature checks as well as a brief health questionnaire at your visit.

Below is a list of some of the enhanced precautions we have taken to protect you in addition to extensive team training on infection control and patient management procedures.
