2. You have a valid email address on file with us and it matches the email address you typed in to register.

3. You have entered a first/preferred name that matches the spelling we have on file.

Some of my personal or insurance information is incorrect.  How do I update my information?

If you notice that some of the personal information or insurance information that we have on file for you is incorrect, please call us at 304-293-6208 to update your information.  You can also choose to alert the Registration Specialist at your next appointment.

How do I send a message to my dental provider?

Go to "My Messages" and click "Compose" to electronically send a message to one of your appointment providers.  Click the "Recipients" button to find your provider's name.

Please do not message your provider if you need to change or cancel an appointment.  Go to our Contacts page to call your clinic directly.

How do I confirm an upcoming appointment?

Go to "My Appointments" to see your next "Upcoming Appointment" or navigate to the "Appointment List" page.  Click on the appointment to view the appointment details and press the green "Confirm" button. If the appointment is already confirmed, you will see "Confirmed" in blue.

How do I change/cancel an appointment?

Please do not message your provider if you need to change or cancel an appointment.  Go to our Contacts page to call your clinic directly.

What forms do I need to fill out?

All patients are encouraged to complete their Medical History Record and the COVID-19 Questionnaire prior to their next appointment.  Both of these forms can be updated as needed, so patients are permitted to update/change existing answers on these forms for accuracy. If you are submitting an incomplete form, after clicking "Finished" be sure to confirm you are finished when the "incomplete form" warning message appears.  At any time you can return to provide updates to these forms.
