Practice and Privacy Policies
Practice Policies
Every endeavour is taken to ensure patients are seen on time. You will be appointed an allocated time slot to ensure you receive the care and time required. Stradbroke dental has an SMS and email service to all patients that provides appointment reminders and for six monthly preventive care appointment reminders. It is understood that sometimes patients are unable to attend dental appointments, and in this case 24 hours notice is required to reschedule. Stradbroke dental reserves the right to charge a fee to your account for missed and late appointment changes. This will vary depending on the duration of the appointment time.
Payment is required on the day of treatment and all forms of payments are accepted. VISA, MasterCard, diners, American Express, direct deposit, cheques and cash. We are also able to process your health fund directly through our HICAPS terminal.
For comprehensive treatment cases, please discuss with our dentists treatment payment options.
