Our priority is to ensure a safe and seamless visit via digital paperwork, no wait times and contactless check-ins.
Digital Forms - paperless form completion & signatures for a contactless check-in
We ask that you please complete all required forms (COVID-19 questionnaire, safety liability form and new patient registration forms - if applicable) prior to your arrival. New medical history forms must be completed by all existing patients. Forms can be accessed in the Forms tab on our website: www.uppereastdentist.com
If you have trouble accessing the forms, please call our office and we will email them to you.
Ensuring your safety throughout your appointment is our top priority and it's important that we work together.
