We know life happens. Usually if you are a few minutes late, we can make that up by working faster without compromising quality and still complete all scheduled procedures. If you are significantly late, we can still be productive with our remaining appointment time by doing as much as possible. E.g. if you have a 50 minute appointment for a cleaning, exam and x-rays and are 20 minutes late, we can usually complete the exam and x-rays and reschedule you for the cleaning. In cases with anxious patients who need laughing gas or sedation and with more involved procedure, we often need to reschedule the appointment. These situations are usually handled on a case by case basis.
