AFTER HOURS AND WEEKENDS
If you are
having a dental emergency and need to contact a dentists after
hours, on weekends, or holidays, the answering service will
take your message and page the dentist on call.
CANCELLATION
If you
need to cancel your appointment, please call as early as
possible. We would greatly appreciate at least 24 hours
notice of cancellation.
APPOINTMENTS
Please
make appointments for all visits. If it has been longer
than three years since you have seen your hygienist, you will
be asked to schedule a comprehensive exam with x-rays.
MEDICATIONS
Each time
you come in to the office to see your dentist, please bring
all of your medications, or a complete, updated list. The
list should include the name, dosage, and frequency of your
medicine.
Is it
important to verify what medications you are taking at each
office visit. This request comes through years of experience
caring for patients.
INSURANCE
As a
courtesy to you we will file a claim for services with your
insurance. However, we are not contracted with any insurance
plans. Any amount not payable by your insurance plan is due
at the time of service.
If you
change insurance companies, please notify us immediately,
regardless of when your next appointment is. Please provide
us a copy of your insurance card.
X-RAY RESULTS
Our
dentists usually write notes or letters to inform patients
about routine x-ray results. This typically takes 7-10 days.
If you have not heard about your results in two weeks, please
call us. Patients with x-ray results that require more urgent
attention will be contacted by phone.
