About Us
Dental Office Policies
At Horizon Family Dentistry, we want your dental visit to be as easy and stress-free as possible. We’ve included our dental office policies below for your review and understanding.
Horizon Family Dentistry will notify you of your upcoming appointment two weeks before the scheduled appointment date via email, text, or telephone. We will re-confirm your appointment two days before your visit. We want to ensure you will be in attendance at your reserved appointment time.
Cancellations & Reschedules
We understand that sometimes things happen beyond our control that may prevent you from keeping a scheduled appointment. Please note that we require a 2 business days notice to avoid a missed appointment charge so that we can offer that time slot to another patient. Arriving late for an appointment may result in us not being able to start or complete treatment in the remaining amount of time. To provide you with proper dental care, it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment.
Dental Emergency Appointments
At Horizon Family Dentistry we understand that dental emergencies arise when we least expect them. Our dental team will do our absolute best to accommodate you as soon as possible. Any patients with dental emergencies are asked to contact our office right away.
Dental Appointment Policy

Please advise us promptly of any changes that may occur. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for payment of your account, your insurance company will reimburse you directly. Most insurance companies allow us to file your claim electronically and will reimburse you quickly. Others require claim forms to be filled out and mailed in, we are happy to assist you with either format. We will always work with you to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits to which you are entitled. Our fees follow the current Ontario Dental Association fee guide.
