Cancellation Policy
Please read our policy regarding appointment scheduling and cancellations.
Whilst we appreciate there may be occasional unavoidable situations that warrant last minute changes, we have recently had a large spike of missed appointments.
Rescheduling Appointments
If your appointment time becomes inconvenient for you, we are always happy to change this with two business days’ notice. This allows us to schedule in a patient who may be in urgent need of our care.
Failed appointments can sometimes interfere with dental treatment and create scheduling problems for all our patients. We will strive to accommodate the appointment needs of our patients and make every effort to provide emergency dental care where needed at short notice.
Cancellation Fees
Failure to provide us with 48 hours advance notice or failure to present for a scheduled appointment will result in a cancellation or no show fee.
This fee will equate to £95 per half an hour of clinical time lost.
It is understandable that sometimes cancellations cannot be helped due to emergencies and we will take all valid circumstances into account. Our goal in communicating our cancellation and failed to attend policy is to avoid any extra charges being passed on to the patient.
Deposit Policy
From the 1st of August 2025, the practice will implement the following deposit requirement to reserve appointment times:
- A £44.50 deposit is required to reserve the time for all standard appointments.
- For any treatments longer than an hour, a £150 deposit will be taken.
