Your Rights As A Patient

Esthetique believes that we have a contract with our patients to empower them to oral and dental wellness, and to perform quality work at a fair price. We firmly believe that every patient who graces our practices with their business has absolute rights that we must always honor. We have defined a patients list of rights based on standards defined by dental associations, and extended those rights to areas we believe are equally as important.
