Communications. By providing the number of a phone or other wireless device and/or an email address now or in the future, I expressly consent and agree that Sawtelle Smiles Dental and its affiliates, agents, service providers, or assignees (collectively, "SSD") may call me using an automatic telephone dialing system, leave me voice messages (including prerecorded or artificial voice messages), or send me a text message, email, or other electronic or written communications for any purpose related to treatment, scheduling, insurance, payment, my account, birthdays, transactional, or other informational purposes ("Communications"). I also agree that SSD may include my personal information in such Communications. I acknowledge that standard phone charges by my wireless provider may apply as determined by my wireless provider.
Dental Materials Fact Sheet and Notice of Privacy Practices. By signing this document, I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Dental Materials Fact Sheet and the Notice of Privacy Practices.
Appointments. SSD is a patient-centered practice and makes every reasonable effort to ensure that your dental experience is pleasant. To achieve this, we reserve specific appointment times for each patient. When a patient misses a scheduled appointment, that time is lost to others who could have been treated. Therefore, I understand that I must provide at least 48 business hours' notice (excluding weekends) to cancel or reschedule an appointment. I understand that failure to do so may result in a broken appointment fee. For example, if your appointment is on Monday at 3PM, you must notify us by or before the preceding Wednesday at 3PM.
Financial Terms and Conditions. I understand that all financial arrangements must be made before any treatment begins. I understand that services furnished to me or persons for whom I am responsible are charged directly to me and that I am personally responsible for payment. SSD requires payment at time of initiation of service.
If I have insurance, I understand that SSD will assist by preparing and submitting insurance claims on my behalf. However, SSD cannot render services under the assumption that insurance benefits will fully cover the charges. I acknowledge that I am ultimately responsible for payment and agree to pay any outstanding balance at the time services are rendered or upon receipt of the explanation of benefits, unless prior arrangements have been made.
