Caring for You Safely During COVID-19

As of 8 August 2020, Dental Practices in Metropolitan Melbourne can only provide dental treatment that is Urgent. If you have any pain or have suffered dental trauma, please do not hesitate to call us and we will endeavor to help.

As a result, the operating hours of Bayside Smiles will be temporarily restricted.

Our reception team will be available throughout the week and the practice will be open to care for patients on Tuesday and Thursday until Stage 4 Lockdowns are lifted.

Our sister practice, 24 / 7 Dental, located at 73 Keys Rd, Moorabbin will be open every day of the week including weekends. Our skilled and experienced team there will be able to care for you during this unprecedented time if you require urgent care.

We have introduced many additional precautions at our practices which include:

• Phone screening prior to booking any appointment.
• Front Entrance Locked. On arrival – please buzz and we will screen you into the practice. 
• Waiting in your car to avoid exceeding one person per 4 square meters in waiting areas.
• Minimal additional guests at the practice – we request patients only (exception of one parent for children’s appointments or a companion needed to translate).
• Immediate hand washing with alcohol rub on entry for all patients and staff.
• Temperature testing on arrival.
• Pre-treatment rinsing with hydrogen peroxide containing rinse which kills COVID-19.
• Use of Rubber Dam for any procedure requiring use of water spray.
• Additional decontamination procedures throughout the day.

We are constantly monitoring and adjusting our regular workflows to maintain the strictest of infection control and patient safety based on the current conditions.

At any stage if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact our staff. We are here to help.
Best wishes and stay healthy!
