General dentistry questions from La Salette
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
What should a new patient book first?
Without an urgent problem, a new patient exam is usually the place to start. If something hurts, is swollen or has broken, mention it when you call so the team can discuss a more focused assessment instead.
Do I need to arrive with a treatment plan?
No. The examination is what determines which care is appropriate. If another dentist has already given you a plan, bring it along with any X-rays so it can be reviewed and discussed.
Is there an office in La Salette?
No. These pages are for La Salette residents visiting our practice at 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2, in Port Dover, where all appointments take place.
