- Know the school schedules. Consider a lunch hour, study hall or a school holiday that can be used for an appointment.
- Pick a different class for each appointment. If you have 7 classes per day, you may only have to check out of 3-4 classes a year.
- Consider car-pooling with other students or friends.
SCHEDULING GUIDELINES
After school appointments are always available but morning appointments are reserved for longer services such as full bonding or full removal of braces.
Please allow the following time for each appointment type:
Initial Examination – 15 minutes
Records – 30-45 minutes
Consultation – 30 minutes
Initial Bonding – 30 minutes for partial, up to 1 ½ hours for set
Adjustment Appointments – 5-15 minutes
Missed appointments and failure to comply with recommended treatment schedules prevent us from achieving the goal of your optimal health.
A broken appointment also prevents other patients from receiving necessary care and increases the cost of delivering care for everyone. We ask that you make every effort to not change or break a reserved appointment. If you must change your appointment, we require a minimum of 24 to 48 hours notice.
A $50 charge (which will be donated to a charity of the patient’s choice) will be applied to all broken and missed appointments if there has not been prior communication. If you are more than 15 minutes late, it will count as a missed appointment and you will be asked to reschedule.
Should you arrive less than 15 minutes late for an appointment, we will attempt to treat you; however, we may not be able to complete all of the scheduled procedures. In most cases, you can be worked into an opening, assuming that all patients have been seen as scheduled. We will make every effort to work you in, but you may be required in some instances to reschedule your appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late, it will count as a missed appointment and you will be asked to reschedule.
We require a minimum of 24 to 48 hours notice of any change to an existing appointment time. A new appointment will be scheduled based on office and patient availability.
