COVID 19 concerns: This will likely be ok. Although droplets have been measured to travel a distance of around 20 feet - that is when there is vigorous coughing and it is pointed in a particular direction. In this situation, patients who appear to be ill, will probably not be allowed in the facility. Additionally, the dental chairs will likely be parallel to each other - rather than facing each other.
