Serving Boston patients at our Port Dover office
Explore care for Boston patientsThe care most smiles need most often
Everyday dentistry, sorted by what brings you in.
Most dental visits fall into a handful of familiar situations: a routine check, a tooth that has started to bother you, a filling or crown that has worn out, or a tooth that may need to come out. The sections below group our general services that way, so you can read about the ones that match your situation before you call.
All of this care is provided at our office in Port Dover, not in Boston itself. You are welcome to phone and simply describe what you have noticed; the team can suggest which kind of appointment makes sense as a first step and how much time to allow.

General dentistry questions from Boston
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Is there a dental office in Boston?
These pages are written for people living in and around Boston, Ontario, but all appointments take place at Port Dover Family Dentistry, 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2, in Port Dover. There is no separate Boston office.
What should I book if I am new and have no pain?
A new patient exam is usually the best place to start. It gives the dentist a full picture of your teeth and gums and sets a baseline for future visits. A cleaning may be arranged at the same time.
I have a treatment plan from another dentist. Should I bring it?
Yes. Bring the plan and any recent x-rays, or ask your previous office to send them. The dentist can review them alongside their own examination and explain how they see your options going forward from here.
