As the information and science around COVID-19 continues to evolve, Accura Dental Care is continuously receiving the most up-to-date information from the Colorado Dental Association (CDA), the American Dental Association (ADA), the Colorado governor’s office and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). We want to ensure that we are making the best decisions with the information and science available in a well-coordinated manner with these health agencies.
The CDA and ADA recommend that all dentists close their offices for three weeks to patients seeking elective and non-urgent care. During that time dentists should provide only emergency dental care and medically necessary care. This will allow all community healthcare providers to care for our most critical patients, while also alleviating the burden that emergency dental care would put on hospitals.
Accura Dental Care is committed to following evidence-based public health advice to help slow the spread of the virus and “flatten the curve” of transmission.
Our office will be open to all patients and citizens of the community for essential emergency dental servicesbeginning today March 17, until April 1st, 2020.
The office will be open from 7:30am to 7:30pm; Monday- Friday,and 7:30am to 1:30pm on Saturdaysduring this time.

Accura Dental Care is taking additional precautions to assist in slowing the spread of COVID-19:
If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, we highly recommend you postpone your appointments to a later date. Screening questions will be done before and at your appointment as appropriate:
A patient’s temperature screening will also be performed. If the temperature is above 99.1F, we will consider delaying treatment.
Accura Dental Care adheres to the highest standards of sterilization recommendations by OSHA, the CDC and the Colorado Dept. of Health. Healthcare offices manage contagious diseases every day of operation. However, our office is taking extra precautions and measures to ensure the best possible management of the COVID-19 situation including hospital grade HEPA air filtration, UV sterilization, virtual waiting rooms, pre-blocked scheduling to encourage social distancing, monitoring and controlling risk factors (e.g., older age; presence of chronic medical conditions, including immunocompromising conditions; pregnancy), promote frequent and thorough hand washing, including by providing workers, customers, and worksite visitors with a place to wash their hands.
