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. 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.
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. 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.
