Terms & Conditions | Havertown Dental Arts

Acceptance of Terms

By visiting this website, browsing our pages, or submitting an appointment request, you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any part of this page, please do not use the site. We may update these terms periodically, and your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.

Permitted Use of This Website

This site is here to help you learn about our dental services, request or change an appointment, and get in touch with our team at Havertown Dental Arts. You are welcome to use it for these purposes:

Learning about our services: reading about cleanings, restorative care, cosmetic dentistry, and other treatments we offer.
Requesting or changing appointments: submitting a request through our online forms or scheduling tools.
Contacting our office: reaching our front desk team with questions about your visit or our practice.

Any information on this website, including descriptions of procedures or oral health tips, is meant to be educational. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a promise of a particular dental outcome. Every mouth is different, and recommendations are only given after we have examined you in person.

Intellectual Property and Content Ownership

The text, photographs, logos, and overall design of this website belong to Havertown Dental Arts unless we have noted a different source. You may view and share pages for personal, non-commercial reasons, but you may not copy, republish, or reuse our content, images, or branding for commercial purposes without our written permission.

Accuracy and Disclaimer of Website Information

We work to keep our website current, but dentistry is a hands-on field and website pages cannot replace an actual examination. Please keep a few things in mind:

Treatment recommendations are only made after we have examined you in person and reviewed your dental and medical history.
Insurance listings on this site tell you which plans we generally work with, but listing a plan does not guarantee coverage for a specific procedure. Your coverage depends on your individual policy and should be confirmed with your carrier.
General information only. Articles, service descriptions, and blog posts are written to help you understand dental care broadly, not to address your specific situation.

Limitation of Liability

We provide this website as a convenience to our patients and the Havertown community. To the extent permitted by law, Havertown Dental Arts is not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site, including errors, interruptions, or reliance on information you find here. If something on the site seems incorrect or out of date, please call our office so we can address it.

Acceptable Conduct

We ask that everyone who uses this website do so respectfully and responsibly. You agree not to:

Submit someone else's health information through our forms without their permission or legal authority to do so.
Post false reviews, misleading statements about our practice, or content intended to harm our staff or other patients.
Attempt to disrupt, hack, or misuse the website or its forms in any way.

Links to Third-Party Sites

Our website may link to outside resources, such as insurance carrier sites or dental health organizations, for your convenience. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or accuracy. Visiting a linked site is at your own discretion.

Changes to These Terms

We may update this page as our services, policies, or legal requirements change. We encourage you to check back from time to time. Continuing to use the website after an update means you accept the current version of these terms.

No Dentist-Patient Relationship from the Website Alone

Browsing our website or submitting an appointment request does not, by itself, create a dentist-patient relationship with Havertown Dental Arts. That relationship begins once our practice has formally accepted you as a patient, typically after your first visit and examination. Until then, please do not rely on anything submitted through the website as a substitute for care.

Educational Content Only

Descriptions of treatments, blog articles, and oral health tips on this site are provided for general education. They are not dental advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan for your specific condition. If you have a dental concern or symptoms that worry you, please call our office rather than relying on information found online.

No Guarantee of Specific Results

Every patient's teeth, gums, and bone structure are different, and healing varies from person to person. While we aim for excellent outcomes in every procedure, we cannot promise a specific clinical or cosmetic result. Photos, examples, and descriptions on our site reflect typical cases and are not a guarantee of how your own treatment will turn out.

Protected Health Information

Havertown Dental Arts handles patient health information in line with applicable privacy laws, including HIPAA where it applies to our practice. Website contact and appointment forms are convenient ways to reach us, but they are not a secure substitute for discussing your health details in person or over the phone. Please avoid sending sensitive medical information through unsecured web forms whenever possible.

Appointments and Cancellations

We know schedules change. If you need to cancel or reschedule a visit, please call our office as early as you can so we can offer that time to another patient. Repeated late cancellations or missed appointments may be discussed with you directly by our team, and our office policies regarding scheduling will be explained to you as a patient of record.

Insurance and Financing

Information about accepted insurance plans and payment options on our website is provided to help you plan your visit, but these details can change. Coverage for a specific procedure is always confirmed with your insurance carrier, not through this website. Our front desk team is glad to help you understand your benefits and discuss financing options before treatment begins.

SMS / Text Messaging Program

Havertown Dental Arts may send automated text messages to the mobile number you provide to us. These messages help keep your care on track and may include:

Appointment reminders and confirmations
Hygiene and recare or recall reminders for your next cleaning
Treatment or post-visit follow-up messages
Office updates such as weather closures or schedule changes
Occasional practice announcements you have opted in to receive

Message frequency varies depending on your appointments and interactions with our office. "Message and data rates may apply." Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Messages may be sent using standard 10-digit long codes (10DLC) or short codes.

How You Opt In

Providing your mobile number through a website form, an appointment or booking request, a keyword text, or a paper form at our office is how you give consent to receive SMS messages from Havertown Dental Arts. Consent is not a condition of purchase or of receiving services from our practice. Please only provide a mobile number that belongs to you, and by doing so, you confirm that you are authorized to give consent for that number.

How You Opt Out and Get Help

You are in control of the messages you receive from us:

Reply "STOP" to cancel at any time. You will receive one confirmation message, and then no further program messages unless you opt in again.
Reply "START" or "UNSTOP" to resume messages after opting out.
Reply "HELP" for assistance, or call us directly at (610) 486-5590, or visit our Contact page.
You may also contact our office directly at any time to ask to be removed from our texting program.

SMS Privacy and Vendors

Your mobile number and SMS consent records are used only to send the messages described above and to meet carrier requirements. We do not sell this information to third-party marketers. We share it only with the SMS and telephony vendors and mobile carriers needed to deliver our messages to you. For more detail on how we handle your personal information, please review our Privacy Policy.
