COVID-19 Protocol


At Chagrin Falls Dental, we understand the concerns and apprehension that people feel from the recent scenario we are all encountering. We have created this page so that you can understand the steps we take and the changes we have put into place. Some of the policies may change as more information is released and we monitor the situation in the upcoming days.

  • We will be screening all patients prior to their appointments by telephone, text, or email. Any patient who is experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other relatable symptoms are required to reschedule.
  • All patients who arrive to the office with any symptoms will be sent home immediately.
  • Payments for procedures will be taken over the phone or through our web bases system unless other form of payment is provided (check or cash).
