 How are Appointments
Scheduled?
The office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience
and when time is available. Preschool children should be seen in the
morning because they are fresher and we can work more slowly with the
child for their comfort. All restorative treatments will also be seen in
the morning for the same reason. Dental appointments are an excused
absence. Missing school can be kept to a minimum when regular dental
care is continued.
Since appointed times are reserved exclusively for each
patient we ask that you please notify our office 48 hours in advance of
your scheduled appointment time if you are unable to keep your
appointment. Another patient who needs our care could be scheduled
if we have sufficient time to notify them. We realize that
unexpected things can happen, but we ask for your assistance in this
regard. Please call 770-971-5536 to schedule an appointment.
 Do I Stay with My Child During
the Visit?
We invite you to stay with your child during the initial
examination. During future appointments, we suggest you allow your child
to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We can usually
establish a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. Our
purpose is to gain your child's confidence and overcome apprehension.
For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children who are
not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising
adult.
What About Finances?
Payment for professional services is due at the time dental treatment is
provided. Every effort will be made to provide a treatment plan which
fits your timetable and budget, and gives your child the best possible
care. We accept cash, personal checks, most major credit cards,
Peachcare and an outside financing source. As a courtesy to our existing
patients we are happy to electronically file their insurance claim for
them.
