Privacy Policy
What information this website collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Last updated: October 26, 2026. This policy explains what information Oakridge Dental collects through this website and how it is used. It does not replace the privacy notice you receive in our office.
Information you give us
This website has no form that asks for your personal details. When you call, text, or email us, we collect what you choose to share — typically your name, phone number, email address, the appointment you want, and any health information you tell us about.
Information collected automatically
Our website host may record standard technical details such as the pages visited, approximate location, browser and device type, and the site that referred you. This is used in aggregate to understand how the site is being used. We do not use this website to build advertising profiles about you.
How we use your information
- To answer your questions and schedule or confirm appointments
- To provide dental care and keep your patient record
- To verify benefits and discuss costs with your insurance plan
- To send reminders and follow-up messages about your care
Health information
Health information you share with our office is kept in your patient record and handled according to our office privacy practices and applicable law, including HIPAA. Ask our front desk for a copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes your rights in detail.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the parties needed to care for you and run the practice — for example your dental insurance plan, a specialist you are referred to, a laboratory that makes your restoration, and the service providers that host this website and deliver our messages.
Cookies
This website may store small files on your device to remember your preferences. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the site may then work less smoothly.
Children
For patients under 18, information is collected from a parent or guardian, and this website is not directed at children.
Retention
We keep records for as long as we are required or permitted to do so, including the retention periods set by California law for dental records.
Your choices
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you gave us through this website, or ask that we stop contacting you by a certain method. Some records must be kept for your care or by law.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date above.
