DSG Dentistry (the “Practice,” “we” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of users of the website located at www.dsgdentistry.com or any website owned, operated, licensed, or controlled by us (the “Site”).

To the extent of a conflict between the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Notice of Privacy Practices with respect to PHI, the Notices of Privacy Practices will control how we use and disclose your PHI.
