We are aware that dental treatment can be a source of real anxiety. Every attempt will be made to deal with your individual concerns and fears. Our experience has shown that an open and honest discussion between doctor and patient is an important first step in dealing with these concerns. The latest analgesic and local anesthetic techniques are available to allay any patient apprehension and discomfort. We are sure you will be pleasantly surprised with our results. For those patients seeking a cosmetic evaluation, we request that our patients complete a Smile Analysis. This will help us in evaluating your feelings and perceptions in order to establish a basis for aesthetic communication. You can request the forms prior to your first appointment, via our online guestbook. Please include mailing address. After receiving the forms, mail the completed forms back to our office or bring them with you at the time of your first appointment. |

Office hours may vary somewhat during the summer months. The office is usually closed on Sundays and Mondays as well as major holidays. It is also closed at times when we are away attending continuing education programs to increase our skills and maintain knowledge of the latest developments to serve you better. Our answering service will always be available to take messages when the office is closed. We try to see all patients on an appointment basis and request that you call in advance so that we can reserve time for you. We make every effort to honor all time commitments and request that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately. We ask that you give us 24-hour notice. This courtesy makes it possible to give your appointment time to another patient who desires to see the doctor. |

| We recognize that you can have an emergency situation arise, and we will do our best to respond to your problem promptly.

If the problem arises when the office is closed, an emergency phone number will be available so that you may get in touch with Dr. DeLapa, or an alternate doctor if he is unavailable. | |
