Appointment Request

The first step towards a beautiful, healthy smile is to schedule an appointment. Please contact our office by phone or complete the appointment request form. Our scheduling coordinator will contact you to confirm your appointment.

Please arrive at least 15 prior to your appointment to fill out necessary paperwork. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late you may be asked to reschedule depending upon the day’s schedule.

If another adult will be bringing your child to his/her appointment please inform us in advance and provide written authorization for them to do so.

Prior to your appointment you will receive a courtesy text, email or phone confirmation of your child’s appointment time and day. If you cannot make this appointment for any reason please call our office to reschedule. Confirmation calls are a courtesy ultimately you are responsible to your appointment time. If you must cancel an appointment please call our office at least 24 hours in advance so that we could offer the appointment to another patient. A fee may be charged for broken appointments or cancellations without 24 hour notice. If three broken appointments or cancellations without 24 hour notice occur our office reserves the right to not reschedule.

Exceptions to this policy will be made on an individual basis. We understand that unexpected emergencies and illness do occur that may make it necessary to cancel without notice. In these circumstances we will be more than happy to reschedule.

Patient Forms

If your child is new to our office, please complete the new patient forms online prior to your child’s arrival. Completing the forms in advance enables parents to fill them out more accurately and conveniently as well as allowing our office to stay on schedule. If for any reason you are unable to complete these forms online prior to your child’s appointment, kindly arrive at least 15 minutes early so that you may complete on one of our iPads at the office.
