Terms of Use
These Terms of Use apply to the Bright Smiles website and related online services operated for Bright Smiles Dental Center PC, Apex Dental PC, and Dawsonville Smiles LLC, each doing business as Bright Smiles. By using the website, you agree to use it in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.
1. Website Information Is Not Dental Advice
Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It is not a substitute for an in-person or otherwise appropriate professional examination, diagnosis, treatment plan, or individualized advice from a licensed health care professional. Seek prompt professional care for urgent concerns. Call 911 or use appropriate emergency services for a medical emergency.
2. No Dentist-Patient Relationship Created by Website Use
Viewing the website, submitting a form, using chat, requesting an appointment, or sending a message does not by itself create a dentist-patient relationship. A treatment relationship is established only through appropriate clinical processes and acceptance of the patient for care by the applicable provider or practice.
3. Appointments and Online Requests
Online requests are not guaranteed appointments until confirmed by Bright Smiles. Do not use website forms, chat, or ordinary email for emergencies or time-sensitive clinical problems when delay could affect your health.
4. Treatment Results and Testimonials
Dental, orthodontic, cosmetic, surgical, sleep-related, and other treatment outcomes vary by patient. Photographs, testimonials, reviews, examples, simulations, and descriptions are illustrative and do not guarantee a particular result.
5. Offers, Fees, Financing and Insurance Information
Offers, fees, discounts, financing information, promotional terms, and insurance-related information may be subject to eligibility, availability, exclusions, expiration dates, clinical circumstances, and other limitations. Bright Smiles can assist patients in understanding and maximizing available insurance benefits, but benefit determinations, coverage decisions, and payments are made by the applicable plan or payer. Website information does not guarantee insurance coverage or reimbursement.
6. Website Accuracy and Availability
We work to keep website information useful and current, but services, provider schedules, fees, offers, technology, hours, and other information may change. We do not guarantee that every page is error-free, complete, current, uninterrupted, or continuously available.
7. Third-Party Websites and Services
The website may link to or embed services operated by third parties. Their content, terms, privacy practices, accessibility, security, and availability are controlled by those providers. A link or integration does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of all content or practices of the third party.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, Bright Smiles website text, branding, graphics, layouts, photographs owned by Bright Smiles, and other original content are owned by or licensed to the applicable Bright Smiles entity and may not be copied, modified, distributed, or used in violation of applicable law or license terms. Third-party marks remain the property of their respective owners.
9. Acceptable Use
You may not use the website to interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, impersonate another person, submit unlawful or fraudulent content, scrape or exploit the website in a manner that violates law or rights, or use the website for any unlawful purpose.
10. Privacy
Use of the website is also subject to the Bright Smiles Privacy & Cookies Policy. When information is protected health information maintained by a participating covered entity, the Bright Smiles Joint Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable health-information law govern.
11. Accessibility
Bright Smiles maintains a separate Accessibility Statement describing our accessibility commitment and how to request assistance or an alternative means of accessing information or services.
12. Disclaimer and Limitation
To the extent permitted by law, the website and its general informational content are provided without warranties regarding uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or suitability for a particular purpose. Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be limited, or alters professional duties applicable to dental care actually provided by a Bright Smiles provider.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms as the website, services, or legal obligations change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
