Appointments
|
Our appointment system is designed so that we may give the most efficient care in a pleasant and relaxed environment. We make every effort to honor all time commitments and expect that patients extend the same courtesy to us. We make every effort to call our patients as a reminder for an appointment. You will receive a reminder 2-3 days prior to your appointment. Patients are kindly asked to confirm at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment. Appointments can be confirmed by responding within the electronic notification or by calling the office. Appointments that remain UNCONFIRMED may be reappointed to a patient waiting to get in. |
|
Continuing Care
|
This practice is centered on prevention and optimum oral health. We discourage isolated, occasional treatment and recommend comprehensive treatment, continuing care and regular maintenance. |
|
After Hours Emergency Care
|
Our practice provides 24 hour support for our patients of record. A patient of Emergency Care record has been seen and received treatment in the office within the last 18 months. If you are a patient of record in need of emergency dental care and it is after hours, you may call the office number and our answering service will contact our doctors |
|
Cancellations & Missed Appointments
|
We require forty-eight (48) hours advance notice of cancellation. Patients who do not provide forty-eight (48) hours notice of cancellation or do not present for a scheduled appointment may be charged a fee. This fee will vary depending on the amount of time scheduled and will not be less than $50.00. Patients who fail to present for two (2) appointments risk being dismissed from the practice. |
|
Children & Adolescents
|
We provide children with the same care that our adult patients receive and prefer to care for them as individuals. Parents may accompany children in the operatories by invitation only. We require that parents remain in the building with minor children (under 18 years of age) for the entire appointment. |
|
Education
|
An abundance of educational material is available in the office and here on our website for your review. We will provide specific information as it relates to your dental needs. We welcome your questions about any dental products, services, or technology. |
|
Technology
|
Digital radiography, intra-oral photography and Patient Education software are examples of the state of the art technology used in our office for diagnosis and treatment planning. Our patients appreciate the efficiency and accuracy of this technology and like being involved in the decision-making process. |
|
Sterilization
|
Rest assured we follow all recommended sterilization procedures and are compliant with all OSHA regulations. |
|
Investing in Your Dental Health
|
New studies have shown that investing in your oral health, in terms of both prevention and treatment, is not only good for function and aesthetics, but for overall health as well. More recently, the bacteria that causes periodontitis has been linked to an increase in cardiovascular disease. We endeavor to provide our patients with the highest standard of care at an affordable price. |
|
Payments & Insurance
|
Fees for services are due at the time treatment is rendered. Payment may be made in cash, check, or by credit card. We also offer third party financing. As a courtesy to our patients with dental insurance, we will make a good faith estimate of your benefits and file the appropriate claim forms. We defer billing you for that amount up to 30 days. |
