COVID-19 Infection Prevention Precautions


At Boutique Dental Bondi we are taking proactive measures to minimise the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus. While we are not aware of any incidences where our patients have tested positive to - or come into contact with - coronavirus, we feel it is important to add additional measures to ensure the health and wellbeing of our patients and staff:

  • We will be temporarily limiting our dental services to restricted services, in accordance with the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee.

  • We encourage everyone to utilise the additional hand sanitiser available upon entry to our Bondi Junction clinic.

  • We have reduced the seating in our waiting room to ensure social distancing between seats. We recommend that patients attend their appointment alone or only bring minimal additional accompanying persons, this excludes patient's carers, parents and guardians.

  • Prior to your treatment you will be required to rinse for 60 seconds with a 0.2% povidine iodine solution.

  • As you know, there is a small window of time between each appointment. Within this time-frame, each surgery is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Please be patient by allowing our clinical team as much time as they need to adhere to the heightened hygiene procedures we have implemented. Further to that we have increased the environmental cleaning of our non clinical areas, such as reception and waiting areas. We only use disinfectants and decontaminates with proven efficacy against the coronavirus, more information about these products can be found here, here and here.

  • If you have returned from overseas in the past 30 days or have any flu like symptoms (fever above 37.5 C, sore or scratchy throat, runny nose, coughing) or have been in contact with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19, please respect all of our staff and other patients and let us know (via email or phone) that you are unable to attend your appointment. You will not be charged for a late cancellation in this incidence. However if you do not let us know, there will be a no-show fee applied.

We will continue to monitor information we receive and provide full transparency that is relevant to coronavirus. We look forward to continuing to care for you and your family during this time.

Kind Regards,

The Boutique Dental Bondi Team
