2. General Information
These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the High Cosmetic Dentist website and all interactions with the practice, including appointment scheduling, treatment, communications, financial arrangements, and related services.
Information provided on the website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute dental, medical, or professional advice. Patients should seek direct evaluation and advice from a qualified dental professional for diagnosis or treatment decisions.
3. Appointments and Cancellations
Appointments may be scheduled through the website, by phone, or in person, and are subject to availability and confirmation by the office.
Patients are requested to provide at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Failure to provide adequate notice may result in limited scheduling availability or delays in treatment.
Late arrivals may result in reduced treatment time or the need to reschedule, depending on office availability.
4. Patient Responsibilities
Patients are responsible for providing accurate and complete medical history, health information, and insurance details.
Patients are expected to follow recommended treatment plans, including post-treatment instructions and attendance at follow-up appointments.
Failure to comply with these responsibilities may affect treatment outcomes and may result in additional costs.
5. Financial Policy
Payment for services may be required prior to the commencement of treatment unless otherwise agreed.
If treatment is discontinued before completion, any applicable refunds will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
For insured patients, the office may assist with insurance claim submission and benefit verification; however, all charges remain the responsibility of the patient regardless of insurance coverage or reimbursement outcomes. Deductibles, co-payments, and non-covered services are due at the time of treatment.
If insurance payments are delayed beyond a reasonable period, patients may be asked to contact their insurance provider to facilitate processing.
Patients may be required to review and sign a separate Financial Policy acknowledging their financial responsibilities and payment obligations.
6. Treatment and Procedure Consent
Prior to treatment, patients are required to review and sign a Dental Procedure Consent Form describing the nature of treatment, including risks, benefits, alternatives, and expected outcomes.
By consenting to treatment, patients acknowledge understanding of the proposed care and accept that no guarantees or warranties are made regarding treatment results.
Patients authorize the dentist to perform additional procedures deemed necessary in professional judgment to complete treatment, address unforeseen conditions, or achieve the intended outcome.
