Welcome to the Nova Dental Care website ("Site"). These Website Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Site. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Site.

1. About the Site / Informational Use Only

The Site is provided for general informational purposes and to assist visitors in learning about Nova Dental Care, its services, and how to contact the practice.

• Electronic communications may not always be secure

Do not submit sensitive medical or financial information through standard website forms unless the practice provides a secure portal specifically intended for that purpose.
