    The doctors and staff at this practice have an unwavering commitment to your child’s superior oral health. We use sound scientific and ethical principles in order to provide your child with the highest standard of pediatric dental care available in our area. We also recognize that creating a fun, friendly, and comfortable environment is critical to the child’s long-term oral health. We know you have a choice in dental providers and we hope that these goals are the primary reasons you have chosen our practice. Please keep in mind that all of the following policies center on accomplishing these two core philosophies.

    Payment/Insurance Policy: Payment in full is due at the time of service. We accept all major credit cards, cash, or personal checks. We cannot guarantee any estimated coverage when billing insurance. Patients are responsible for determining if their insurance is contracted for the services that will be provided. Patients are responsible for all balances imposed by their insurance. You are ultimately responsible for any remaining amount unpaid by insurance. There will be a $50 service fee on any returned checks. All unpaid balances are subject to a 10% processing fee and may incur a 1.5% monthly finance charge. All delinquent balances must be paid prior to incurring any new charges. Patients are responsible for determining whether or not our providers are considered to be part of their insurance's network and will be responsible for all balances imposed by their insurance company. Any service overpaid will automatically be refunded to the patient's original payment method within 60 days. Checks will be issued within 60 days from the payment date for patients who made a cash payment.
    Missed or Canceled Appointment Policy: Due to the busy nature of our practice and as a common courtesy to the doctors and staff who are providing important care to your child, we ask that you please make your child’s appointment a top priority. If you are unable to make your appointment please give us sufficient time to fill your child’s appointment with another child waiting to see the doctor. We ask that you call to reschedule or cancel 24 hours in advance. A second last minute cancellation or no-show will lead to the end of the doctor-patient relationship. If you miss or break your appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, you may be subject to a $50-$100 cancellation fee.
    Late Appointment Policy: We ask that all parents make a special effort to be at their child’s appointments on time in order to minimize the impact on their child’s care and dental experience as well as that of those patients scheduled later in the day. If a patient is more than 10 minutes late to a 30 minute appointment or 15 minutes late to a 60 minute appointment they may be required to reschedule or wait while we care for those patients who were on time to their appointments. Regular tardiness will lead to the end of the doctor-patient relationship.
    Consent to Treat Policy: I give my permission for the practice to perform dental procedures including nitrous and local anesthetic within the professional scope of dentistry deemed as necessary on my child/children to individuals with my permission.

    • Acknowledge the understanding that dentistry is not an exact science and hereby request and authorize whatever the doctor deems advisable if any unforeseen condition arises in the course of these designated treatment(s) and/or procedures calling, in their judgment, for procedures in addition to or different from those contemplated. In addition, I have provided as accurate and complete medical history as possible including those antibiotics, drugs, medications and foods to which my child is allergic.
    • Communication Policy: Our top priority is to give you all the information needed to make informed decisions in regards to your child’s oral health. This includes providing you with the nature of recommended procedures, the risks of those procedures, any alternatives to the procedures recommended, and an estimate of the costs involved to perform those procedures. We hope that open communication is important to you as well and that any concerns you have about treatment or our policies will be broughtopen communication is important to you as well and that any concerns you have about treatment or our policies will be broughtopen communication is important to you as well and that any concerns you have about treatment or our policies will be brought
