Angel Smile Policies

We value and respect your time, and we do our best to run on schedule. We strive to give every patient the time and attention they deserve, which is why our capacity is carefully managed. To maintain this standard—and out of respect for all our patients and our clinicians—we have a strict cancellation policy.

Booking & Deposits

A £60 deposit per every 30 minutes is required to confirm your appointment.

Cancelling or Rescheduling

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us more than 48 hours’ notice (excluding weekends) by email: 📧 reception@angelsmile.co.uk

Changes made with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged at £60 per every 30 minutes, to cover our basic clinic and staff costs.

Refunds If you cancel on time, your deposit will be refunded by cheque, minus a 5% admin fee (minimum £5).

Please note: If you book an appointment that is less than 48 hours away, the payment is non-refundable, regardless of cancellation reason.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
