Important Information About Dental Appointments

• Your dental care is important to us. In order for us to provide the best service for you, please come in 10 minutes prior to your appointment time.
• Please give us a 24-hour notice, when possible, if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
• If you fail to come in for your appointment, it will be difficult for you to get back into our appointment system. Also, it is lost appointment time for others in our community.
• Children under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian present at all times when treatment is being done.

Dental Surgery

After dental extractions or surgery, your body will require some healing time. During this time, it is important to rest and to treat the area as gently as possible. Below is a PDF of our brochure that will help you with the healing process. Please read all of the information and follow the instructions to ensure the most comfortable and effective healing experience.
