Our Practice
Excellence Defined
Bitterroot Dental proudly provides our patients a comfortable, state-of-the-art facility for the highest quality dental care available in the area. It is one of our top priorities to protect the well-being of our valued patients. For this reason, our Missoula dentist office meets and surpasses all OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and CDC (Center for Disease Control) standards. We are confident that you will feel right at home in our office as we welcome all patients as if they are family.
Making Appointments
If you would like to make an appointment, please contact our dentist’s office by phone or email. Emergency calls and appointments are available and welcome, especially for new patients seeking help.
Changing Appointments
We see patients by appointment only. We expect that when you ask us to reserve an appointment for you in our schedule that you will find a time that has zero chance of having to be changed. We are only able to run the type of patient-focused practice we currently have because we keep appointment changes to a strict minimum. Changing appointments at the last minute, or missing appointments without letting us know is unacceptable. It prevents us from providing you, or other patients, with the healthcare they need in a timely manner. Often, patients in need of urgent care are forced to wait so we can honor your scheduled time as a first priority. When you cancel without notice, these patients wait unnecessarily for dental care, often while in pain.
If a change is unavoidable, you must give us 48-business-hour notice, ahead of time. Cancellation messages cannot be left on our answering machine. If your appointment is on Monday, you must let us know the previous Thursday if a change will be necessary. Failure to do so will result in a Late Notice or Cancellation Fee of $25 per half hour scheduled. If your schedule is unpredictable or changes without much notice, you may choose to call us on a day you are available and we will attempt to work you in.
