General dentistry questions from Nanticoke
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
What should a new patient book first?
If nothing urgent is bothering you, a new patient exam is usually the best starting point. If you have pain, swelling or a broken tooth, mention it when you call so the team can arrange a more focused assessment.
Is there a dental office in Nanticoke?
Not in Nanticoke itself. Patients from Nanticoke are seen at our only office, Port Dover Family Dentistry, 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2, Port Dover, where all appointments are held.
Can I bring a treatment plan from another dentist?
Yes. Bring any plans, X-rays or notes you have. The dentist can review them during an examination and discuss whether they agree with the recommendations or suggest alternatives.
