A dentist cancellation fee is a charge imposed by a dental practice when a patient cancels or reschedules an appointment with short notice. The fee is typically a flat rate, but it can vary depending on the practice's policies and the reason for the cancellation.
Cancellation fees are designed to compensate the practice for the lost revenue and time associated with the missed appointment. They also help to deter patients from cancelling appointments without sufficient notice, which can disrupt the practice's schedule and inconvenience other patients.
