Your First Visit With Us
Your initial appointment with us customarily consists of a medical history review, a cleaning, an examination, a review of your treatment needs if any, and options for treatment. Occasionally, treatment can be done or started the same day as your first visit when time permits.
Pahlavani Dental is a paperless office. Before your appointment, we will send you a link to complete the necessary medical forms in advance. This way, we can spend more time focusing on your dental needs. If you need any assistance, please let us know in advance via call or text.
Appointment reminders are automated via text, e-mail, and/or voice calls. The standard rates and/or text messaging fees may apply from your cellular provider. As always, you have the option to opt-out.
Financial Policy
Your insurance company will not guarantee any payment amount until a claim has been filed. The co-payment and/or deductible requested at the time of services is estimated from the information given to us by your insurance plan. We are not held responsible for any incorrect information given to us by your insurance provider.
If we file to your insurance, your co-payment and/or deductible is due at the time of services. If you do not wish to submit to insurance at the time of service, you will be considered a self-paying patient, and all fees will need to be paid in full at the time of Service.
Cancellation Policy
We ask that you give the office forty-eight (48) hour notice if you are unable to make your scheduled appointment. Charges may apply for repeat offenders.
