the cost of dental treatment, or has asked us to submit a claim
on the patient’s behalf. Financial information may be collected
in order to make arrangements for the payment of dental
services.
We collect information from our patients about their health

If we are ever considering selling all or part of our dental
practice, qualified potential purchasers may be granted access,
as part of the due diligence process, to patient information in
order to verify information important to the potential sale. If
this occurs, we will take steps to ensure that the prospective
purchaser safeguards all personal information. Dentists are
regulated by the Alberta Dental Association and College, which
may inspect our records and interview our staff as part of its
regulatory activities in the public interest.

Our Personal Information Procedures:
We have appointed a Privacy Officer as our principal advisor and issues manager regarding personal information protection. On your behalf, our staff is trained in personal information protection. We review our information collection procedures and consent forms on an ongoing basis, and we ensure that any contractors we hire who might have access to your personal information also take steps to protect the privacy of your personal information. At the Leigh Smile Center we have a privacy policy in place for patients and employees. The Personal Information Protection Procedures below tell you how we fulfill the commitment to patients in our Privacy Policy at the Leigh Smile Center Dental Health Clinic.
Protection of Your Personal Information in Our Records:
Our records containing your personal information are stored
in a secure place. Our electronic records are stored on hardware
that is secure. Passwords are used on all of our computers. We
take care to protect screen monitors from public viewing in the
office. Paper records are transferred outside our office in
sealed envelopes by secure methods and with reputable carriers.
Telephone discussions with patients in the office are carried on
with sensitivity to protecting personal information. Electronic
information is transferred in secure files, and sent anonymously
wherever possible. We do not share your personal information
outside our office for any marketing, promotional, publicity,
educational or research purposes without your consent.
Our staff is trained to handle your information only through the
protective measures outlined in our privacy procedures. If we
hire consultants or contractors who might have access to any of
your personal information, we will take steps to ensure that the
consultant or contractor takes steps to protect the privacy of
your personal information.
Storage and Destruction of Personal information:
We are required by legislation and regulation to keep records
containing personal information for specified periods of time.
We keep your records for a maximum of
11 years from your last
service (as recently mandated by the ADA+C), even if you move from our office. We destroy personal
information in paper records by shredding it. We destroy
electronic personal information by deleting it. When discarding
hardware, we make sure the hard drive is destroyed.
We have also recently implemented a program to provide all our
Dental Implant patients with a complete Implant component parts
list for their Dental Implant treatment. This list contains the
implant manufacturer, implant type with serial numbers, size,
and all the prosthetic parts code numbers. Since Dental Implants
could potentially last a patient's lifetime, it is important
that the patient maintain this information for the future. This
will protect the patient after the 11 year period for
maintaining records.
