FINANCIAL POLICY

Thank you for choosing our office to provide your dental care. We appreciate your trust and look forward to working with you. In order to prevent any misunderstanding and to better serve you, we ask that all patients read and sign our FINANCIAL POLICY. If you have any questions, please ask the front desk.

  1. VERIFYING INSURANCE: As a courtesy to you, we will verify your insurance for eligibility benefits prior to your appointment as well as any time that you notify us of a change in your coverage. The insurance companies do not guarantee payment based on the information that they provide us. You are ultimately responsible for knowing if there are any waiting periods for work to be performed. Any amounts on your treatment plans that are not covered by your insurance, are your financial responsibility.
  2. PAYMENT: Payment is due at the time of service. Additionally, if you have a balance following an insurance payment from a previous visit, you will be expected to pay that amount as well. Once treatment is rendered, no refunds will be issued. If additional procedures are required during the course of treatment, the patient is responsible for the cost of additional treatment.
  3. INSURANCE INFORMATION: New insurance as well as changes in insurance must be provided to this office prior to an appointment. Failure to provide correct and current insurance information may result in the entire bill being your responsibility.
  4. CHANGES IN PERSONAL INFORMATION: Changes in your address or telephone numbers should be kept current with our office. If this office is unable to contact you by telephone or mail and your balance is overdue, your account will be sent to a collection agency.
  5. REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: These must be responded to immediately. Such requests include proof of a college student’s full-time status and proof of continued enrollment in an insurance plan. Failure to provide this information to the insurance company in a timely manner may result in the entire balance being your responsibility.
  6. PAYMENT PLANS: Please see our staff at the front desk for details.
  7. BALANCES: If your account balance exceeds 30 days, you will receive a notice informing you that your account is overdue. If you do not pay your balance or arrange a payment plan within 10 days, your account will be turned over to a collections agency. If this happens, a collection fee (currently 39% of the balance) will be added to your account balance. The collection agency will report any unpaid balance to the major credit bureaus.
  8. RETURNED CHECKS: There will be a $30 fee for all returned checks. The amount of the check plus the fee must be paid within 10 days of notification by money order, cash or credit card. Once a check has been returned, this office will no longer accept personal checks for payment.
  9. CANCELLATIONS/FAILED APPOINTMENTS: We request 24-hours notice if you are cancelling an appointment. There will be a $50 fee for cancellations made without 24 hours notice and for failed appointments (“no shows”). The $50 will be posted to your account, and you will not be allowed to make any other appointments for yourself or your family members until it is paid in full.

Appointment Policy

Appointments: (Cleanings, exams, treatment etc.)

A confirmation phone call, email or text may be sent before your appointment. If no confirmation is received within 1 week of your appointment with the Hygienist or within 1 day of your appointment with the dentist your appointment may be subject to cancellation so that another patient can be accommodated.

Please call to report any changes of address, email or phone number. If we receive return mail or cannot reach you to confirm, your appointment may be subject to cancellation so that another patient can be accommodated.

Any cancellation with less than 24-hour notice is subject to a $50 cancellation fee. After the 2nd no-show, the appointment will need to be pre-paid. Any additional no-shows may result in patient dismissal from the practice.

General Consent Form

Please read and sign the section at the bottom of the form.

I understand that I may receive sealants. Sealants are a protective coating material that is applied to the chewing surface of back molars to act as a protective barrier from acids and plaque. Sealants generally last for several years but occasionally require reapplication.

I understand that local anesthetics, antibiotics, pain medications, and other drugs can cause redness, swelling of tissues, pain, itching, vomiting, and/or anaphylactic shock (severe allergic reaction). I understand that not everyone reacts the same to medication and such reactions are not predictable.

I understand that during treatment it may be necessary to change or add procedures because of conditions found while working on the teeth that were not discovered during examination, the most common being root canal therapy following routine restorative procedures, a crown being required instead of a routine filling, and an extraction being required due to a non-restorable tooth with gross decay or fracture. If this is the case, proposed changes will be explained to me. Any differences in fee will be authorized by me before any changes take place.

I understand that teeth can become or remain sensitive after having a filling placed. This can occur with either amalgam (silver) or composite (tooth colored) filling materials. Sensitivity may require additional treatment. Removal of deep decay can lead to an abscessed tooth requiring either a root canal or extraction. I understand that if I need additional treatment the cost is my responsibility.

I understand that dentistry is not an exact science and that reputable practitioners cannot guarantee results. I acknowledge that no guarantee or assurance has been made by anyone regarding the dental treatment which I have requested and authorized. I have had the opportunity to read this form and ask questions. All of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction. I consent to the proposed treatment.

COVID-19 Notice and Acknowledgement of Risk Form

Our goal is to provide a safe environment for our patients and staff, and to advance the safety of our local community. This document provides information we ask you to acknowledge and understand regarding the COVID-19 virus.

The COVID-19 virus is a serious and highly contagious disease. The World Health Organization has classified it as a pandemic. You could contract COVID-19 from a variety of sources. Our practice wants to ensure you are aware of the additional risks of contracting COVID-19 associated with dental care.

The COVID-19 virus has a long incubation period. You or your healthcare providers may have the virus and not show symptoms and yet still be highly contagious. Determining who is infected by COVID-19 is challenging and complicated due to limited availability for virus testing and possible spread by asymptomatic carriers.

Due to the frequency and timing of other dental patients, the characteristics of the virus, and the characteristics of dental procedures, there is an elevated risk of you contracting the virus simply by being in the dental office.

Dental procedures create water spray, which is one way the disease is spread. The ultra-fine nature of the water spray can linger in the air for a long time, allowing for transmission of the COVID-19 virus to those nearby.

You cannot wear a protective mask over your mouth during treatment as your providers need access to your mouth to render care. This leaves you vulnerable to COVID-19 transmission while receiving dental treatment.

I confirm that I have read the Notice above and understand and accept that there is an increased risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus in the dental office or with dental treatment. I understand and accept the additional risk of contracting COVID-19 from contact at this office. I also acknowledge that I could contract the COVID-19 virus from outside this office and unrelated to my visit here.

I have read and understands the information stated above:

Oral ID Form

Shine Light Save Lives
Consent Form-Oral Cancer Screening

Our office SMILE AVENUE FAMILY DENTAL, strives to bring its patients state-of-the-art technology to provide you with the latest advancements in oral health. We have recently introduced the OralID screening device into our office. The OralID examination will allow us to visualize any oral mucosal abnormalities including cancer and dysplasia (pre-cancer) before they can be detected with the naked eye. The procedure is quick, painless and no rinses or dyes are used.

Similar to other cancers, early detection of Oral Cancer is critical. Studies have shown that early detection of oral cancer with technologies like the OralID dramatically improves the survivability of the disease. If oral cancer is detected in its later stages, which typically occurs during a conventional oral cancer exam, the chances of survival are dramatically reduced.

Who is at Risk?

  • People age-17+ years
  • Tobacco users
  • Alcohol users
  • People with HPV infection

If you have any questions about risk factors, please feel free to talk to our hygiene staff. We screen all of our patients with the OralID to reduce the mortality of late stage detection.

Our office charges $25 per screening with the OralID. We will attempt to bill your insurance, but you will be responsible for any unpaid amount or denial by your insurance company.
