Explore care for Townsend patientsBeyond the routine visit
Some concerns need a more specific kind of care.
Not every dental question fits neatly into a checkup. You might be dealing with jaw stiffness, a partner’s complaints about snoring, a denture that has started slipping, nerves that keep you away from appointments or a need for extra physical support. These services cover those situations and the planning they often require.
Townsend patients can raise any of these concerns with our Port Dover team. Some are handled in the office, while others may involve coordination with a physician or a referral, and the team will be clear about which applies.

Questions about additional services
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Can the dentist diagnose sleep apnea?
No. Sleep apnea is diagnosed through a medical sleep study. A dentist may notice signs and suggest you see your doctor, and oral appliances are considered after a diagnosis.
Can I talk about anxiety before booking treatment?
Yes. Many people find it helpful to start with a conversation about what worries them. The team can explain how visits are paced and which comfort options might be discussed.
Will every service be done in the Port Dover office?
Many will, but some situations call for a specialist or another setting. After assessment, the dentist will explain whether care can be provided in the office or whether a referral is more appropriate.
