Late and Cancelled appointments
We make every effort to schedule appointments for your convenience. We generally book younger, more anxious patients earlier in the day to give our staff more time to spend with each child on an individual basis. To help us maintain an on-time schedule, we ask that you be on time for your appointment. For those who arrive late, we will try to fit your child’s appointment into the schedule if time permits, but please understand that the appointment may need to be rescheduled for another day.
If you need to reschedule an appointment, please give our staff 48 hours notice so that we can offer the time slot to another child. Cancellations without sufficient notice will result in a charge.
Payment
To help keep dental fees as affordable as possible, we do not bill or extend credit. Full payment will need to be made for the services rendered at the end of each visit. For your convenience, we accept cash, VISA, MasterCard or debit (Interac) card. Personal cheques are not accepted.
Insurance
We will be pleased to assist you with your insurance claims, either by sending the information to the insurance companies electronically, or by providing you with a printed insurance claim form for submission. Regretfully, we do not accept payment from the insurance companies directly.
