CELEBRATING SMILES COVID-19 UPDATE

Celebrating Smiles is proud to help the fight against Covid-19 by offering Rapid Covid-19 testing.  The testing and analysis takes place completely OUTSIDE our dental office.  A team member will meet you at your car.  A sample is taken from the ANTERIOR nasal cavities so it is more comfortable. The sample NEVER comes into our dental office. 

The Cue testing system utilizes a thermonuclear technology to detect  SARS-COV-2 RNA.  The Cue test has 98-99% sensitivity and specificity for the virus.  You may receive your results within 30 minutes via text, email, or a phone call. For more information about Cue Testing click here.

The cost of the test is $150 and must be paid before your test.  We can provide a medical claim form for you to see reimbursement from your insurance company.
