Cancellation and No-Show Policy

Office hours are by appointment and we do value your time. This office is a private practice dental office and not a dental “clinic.” Appointment time is reserved for you alone. Where appropriate, we prefer to schedule longer appointments so we can complete as much needed dental treatment as possible during one appointment. We feel this type of scheduling will cause minimal disruption to your daily schedule and will provide efficiency in completing your dental care. When you make an appointment, please be sure that you will be able to keep it. Morning appointments may be best for more complicated procedures.

Emergencies and unforeseen patient treatment problems may arise, causing schedule changes. Emergencies are unexpected and seem to come at the most inconvenient times. If you have a denture or partial emergency that needs immediate attention, we will always offer to see you at once. We expect that other patients who might be slightly inconvenienced by this will be understanding of the situation. At some point, they may need the same courtesy too!

Like many offices, this office does attempt to call to confirm your appointment. Please make a note of any dental appointments we have scheduled in a place where you will be easily reminded. If you cannot make an appointment as scheduled, please notify the office. Please be aware that if you arrive more than 15 minutes late to your scheduled appointment you may be asked to reschedule. There will be a charge of $35 for a broken appointment or cancellation with less than 24 hours’ notice for your appointment. 

If you have any questions regarding our late cancellation or no show policy feel free to ask!
