On average, appointments will last 2 1/2 hours. Your student may ask you to attend an appointment once a week for the duration of your treatment. Please note: neither childcare nor translation services are available.
It can take weeks to months before care is completed, and care may extend through a number of appointments. Most patients will have multiple appointments before their dental work is finished. Because each step must be checked by an instructor, both the length of each appointment and the number of appointments is greater that in comparison to private practice.
Patients are expected to give 48 hours’ notice if they are unable to attend an appointment. If a patient misses two appointments in a row without proper notice, a cancellation fee of $50.00 will be charged. If a third appointment is missed without proper notice, patient dismissal may occur.
