Office Policies...

Appointments & Cancellations

To make an appointment, please call and talk with our receptionist. She will make every effort to arrange a convenient time for you. If you are having any dental discomfort, please let us know as early in the day as possible so we can see you the same day.

If necessary to cancel an appointment, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible... so that your previously reserved time can be made available to another patient. Patients who consistently miss appointments without notice, will not be rescheduled and will be charged for the missed appointment.

Appointment delays unfortunately do occur in our office occasionally. We realize that your time is also valuable and we schedule appointments accordingly. Delays happen usually due to our efforts to work into our schedule a patient who has a dental emergency. We ask for your understanding if this should occur. We always provide this emergency service to all our patients.

Changes in your Medical History

So that we can take every necessary precaution when providing excellent dental care, please notify us of any change in your medical history. Also, please inform us of any change in name, address, phone number, marital status, employment or insurance coverage.

Recall Visits

Once the basic portion of your dentistry is completed, we will schedule recall appointments for your periodic dental cleanings and examinations at regular intervals. The time between appointments will vary depending on your individual care requirements.

We hope you share in our belief that regular preventive dental health care is a sound investment. While the responsibility for returning for this treatment rest primarily with you, we will provide the service of reminding you by phone or mail.

Financial Policy

We have made and will continue to make every effort to keep down the cost of your dental care. Our policy is to request payment at the time of your dental treatment. We try to avoid sending statements, because the cost of paperwork and manpower affects our fees.

We do our best to adjust to our patient's requirements in planning for the investment in superior dental health. Our treatment coordinator will work with you to arrange a treatment plan that fits your timetable and budget. We will be happy to discuss every procedure and fee before we start. We also will help you arrange for payment, as several methods are acceptable. Please talk to our receptionist if you have any questions

Thank you!

A smile says it all...
