Explore care for Hillcrest patientsSupport for particular needs
Services for the concerns a routine visit may not cover.
Some dental needs go beyond cleanings and fillings. You might be looking for a calmer way through treatment, an appliance for grinding or snoring, a better-fitting denture or an assessment before an important event. This page brings those services together so Hillcrest patients can see what may help and where to start.
Each service is provided at our Port Dover office after an assessment. Where a concern overlaps with medical care, such as sleep apnea or complex health needs, the dentist will explain how dental treatment fits alongside your physician’s advice.

Additional services questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Can one appointment cover several concerns?
Often several issues can be discussed at one visit, though treatment may need separate appointments. Mention each concern when booking so the team can allow enough time and plan the order of care sensibly.
Do I need a referral for a sleep appliance?
Sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a physician, usually through a sleep study. The dentist can provide an oral appliance once a diagnosis and recommendation are in place. For snoring alone, the dentist may still suggest a medical check first.
Can the office accommodate mobility or sensory needs?
Describe your needs when you call. The team will explain what arrangements are possible and be honest if another setting would serve you better. Planning ahead helps make the visit as comfortable as possible.
