Welcoming patients from Simcoe at our Port Dover office
Dental care for Simcoe patients
A checkup starts with what matters to you.
A tooth that feels different. A question about your gums. Or simply knowing it is time for a checkup. Your appointment is a chance to talk about the things you have noticed and understand how your teeth and gums are doing.
We welcome patients from Simcoe at our Port Dover office on Norfolk County Highway 6. Whether you are new to the area or looking for a place to continue your dental care, we start with your concerns and explain what we find in everyday language.
Space for your questions
Tell us what is on your mind, from a small change to a worry about treatment.
A plan you understand
Talk through the recommendations and next steps before deciding how to proceed.
Understanding your appointment
What Simcoe patients can expect at their checkup.
Your visit is shaped by your history and concerns. These are the main parts of a routine examination.
01
We listen and review your history
Tell us about changes in your health, medications and any dental work completed elsewhere. Mention sensitivity, bleeding gums, jaw discomfort or a question you have been meaning to ask.
02
We examine your oral health
Your dentist checks your teeth, existing dental work, gums, bite and oral tissues. X-rays may be recommended when they add information needed for your assessment; they are not automatically required at every visit.
03
We discuss what comes next
You can ask about the findings, the reasons for a recommendation and the options available. Your next checkup date will depend on your needs, rather than a fixed schedule for everyone.
An exam and a cleaning do different jobs.
The exam assesses your oral health. A cleaning removes deposits from your teeth. If you would like both, mention this when booking so our team can discuss scheduling.
Before you leave Simcoe
A little preparation makes the visit easier.
When you are planning a trip to the dentist, knowing what to bring and what to ask can take one more thing off your mind.
Ask about previous records
If you are changing dental offices, ask our team how to arrange the transfer of available records and recent X-rays before your appointment.
Bring your health and coverage details
Have your medication list and any dental benefit information handy. If you have questions about costs, raise them when booking so you know what to discuss before care begins.
Tell us what would help you feel comfortable
Let us know about dental anxiety, accessibility needs or a previous experience that makes you hesitant. This gives us a chance to talk about your visit in advance.
Plan the appointment around your day
Ask how much time to allow for the visit and whether a cleaning can be coordinated. Confirm your appointment time before arranging transport or time away from work.

Is your dental office in Simcoe?
Our office is in Port Dover at 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2. This page is for people in Simcoe considering a visit to our Port Dover practice. All appointments take place there.
Can I book if I am new to the practice?
Yes, new patients are welcome. Let us know that this will be your first appointment and tell us about any current concerns. Our team can explain what information to bring and how to request records from your previous office.
Can I have an exam and cleaning on the same day?
Ask when booking. The exam and cleaning are separate services, and the arrangement will depend on your needs and the appointment times available. Mention that you are coming from Simcoe so we can discuss your plans for the visit.
Will I need dental X-rays?
That depends on your dental history, symptoms and what the dentist needs to assess. Useful recent images from another office may be considered. You can always ask why an image is recommended.
How much will my checkup cost?
Contact us to discuss the type of appointment you need. An exam, cleaning and any recommended X-rays can involve separate fees. Ask for an estimate and bring your benefit details so you can discuss any expected out-of-pocket amount before proceeding.
What if I have a toothache before my checkup?
Call our office and describe the symptoms instead of waiting for your routine appointment. The team can help determine the appropriate next step and discuss appointment availability.
