Appointment Confirmation
Appointments are confirmed when both the patient completes the booking and the dental clinic accepts the appointment. You will receive confirmation via email and/or SMS. Confirmation through DentAI247 does not guarantee service delivery—the dental provider has the final authority over appointment acceptance.
Cancellations and Modifications
- •Patient Cancellations: You may cancel or reschedule appointments through the platform. Cancellation policies vary by clinic—some may charge cancellation fees for late cancellations (typically within 24-48 hours of the appointment).
- •Provider Cancellations: Dental providers may cancel appointments due to emergencies or scheduling conflicts. We will notify you immediately and assist in rebooking.
- •No-Show Policy: Repeated no-shows may result in restrictions on your ability to book future appointments or account suspension.
Appointment Accuracy
While we strive to display accurate real-time availability through Dentitek integration, appointment slots are subject to the dental clinic's schedule changes. We are not liable for scheduling errors, double-bookings, or availability discrepancies.
