With the COVID outbreak, we hear about hospitals non-stop. But what about dentist offices? Dentists and orthodontists are just as susceptible to coronavirus with patients and staff in close proximity to each other.  

Recently, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued guidelines for dental offices to follow and to assist the dental field in implementation procedures as offices start re-opening. It has completely changed the way dental offices prepare for a patient.

Soleran has heard from several dental offices and has responded in a couple of ways!

We provide the dental field with a compact concise format to follow. Staff can operate in a manner that meets guidelines, while minimizing the amount of time ensuring all regulations are met. Staff can focus on their main job - providing their patients with quality dental care. Soleran makes facility compliance simple.
