Important Changes for your Upcoming Dental Visits

Our top priority remains the health and well-being of our patients, families, staff and community. Over the past 30 years we have practiced in an evolving infection control environment. From AIDS to Tuberculosis to Mad Cow Disease to Bird Flu to Swine Flu we have continually adapted our practice to meet new infection challenges. Given the current environment with COVID-19, we have implemented the following changes in our office that we want you to be aware of:

  • Patients will be screened using a questionnaire, both when making an appointment and again when you arrive. We are only able to see patients who are COVID-19 symptom free.
  • Appointments will be managed to allow for physical distancing between patients. This might mean patients are offered fewer options for appointment times.
  • The practice may use telehealth (virtual or phone appointments) in order to limit a patient’s need to physically be in the office.
  • Patients are asked to not bring others into the dental office, unless they are parents or guardians of patients who are minors or are special needs patients. If someone accompanies a patient, they will be asked to wait in their car or outside the office.
  • Patients are asked to wear a mask while in the office.
  • Hand sanitizer will be available for their use before and after touching items in the office.

In addition, we have exceeded the reopen recommendations by adding new technology to minimize the risk of infection. Specifically, we have:

  • Implemented use of an IQAir Extraloral Suction Unit. This extraoral dental suction unit is specifically engineered to safely capture chairside aerosols and protect the treatment room from airborne contaminants.

       

               

                  

  • Additionally, we had three APCO Fresh-Aire In-Duct Air Purification System UV-C  “air scrubbers” installed into the building’s air conditioning system. As air circulates through the system it is filtered and exposed to UV light which has been shown to be effective at neutralizing viruses and other pathogens.

             

We look forward to seeing you back in the office soon.

Sincerely,

Ann Marie Zimmerman, DDS & David L. Rens, DDS

Dr. Rens is an amazing dentist! I went here continuously for the entire 4 year period I lived in San Diego. He and his staff were always efficient and kind. Cleanings were routine and done in under an hour. They were also the least painful cleanings I've ever had. When I had to get more serious work done, Dr. Rens was very thorough both in explaining my options and in doing a quality job. If it wasn't for me moving out of state, I would go here the rest of my life.

Truly professional and personable, Dr. Zimmerman certainly was a great choice for a new dentist.

Compete lab on premise, wonderful hygienist (Emily) and nice to have the availability of Dr. Rens for additional consultation when needed.

A really good choice if you're looking for new dentist.

Dr. Rens has been my dentist for the last 18 years. Most of us know finding a dentist who is a master of their craft and whose work you can trust is like finding the perfect pair of jeans; next to impossible.
Dr. Rens saved my bacon many times whether is was day, night, weekend, or holiday. You can't find service like what you get from Dr. Rens anywhere anymore. He has always been honest and direct about what's needed and never tries to oversell; most importantly he stands behind his work. I would recommend Dr. Rens to anyone looking for a dentist.

Fantastic! The whole experience was seamless. The front desk lady was able to book me in last minute and she was super friendly. Dr. Ann Marie Zimmerman was gentle and very knowledgeable. My teeth cleaning was easy! A+++++

Dr Rens has been my dentist for at least 15 years. I would not trust any other dentist at this point. I have had root canals, cavities and now getting a bridge put in Dr Rens has done it all. Next will be a whitening treatment. I particularly find it very funny how Dr Rens will ask simple questions knowing you can't answer him back because my mouth of pride open during a procedure. He is down to earth and I've never had a problem here. Quite simply he is The Best!

My family and I have been seeing Drs. Rens and Zimmerman for over 10 years and have been very happy. Dr. Rens is very calm and good at making you feel comfortable, taking away the anxiety of seeing a dentist. My 86 year old dad is now seeing Dr. Rens and is also happy with his service. After all these years, the Dr.'s seem more like friends which makes each visit very pleasant.
