Explore care for Townsend patientsThe everyday side of dental care
Start with the concern you have today.
General dentistry covers most of what keeps a mouth healthy over a lifetime: routine exams, hygiene visits, repairs for worn or damaged teeth, care for the gums and options when a tooth has to be replaced. These pages group that care by the kind of problem it solves, so it is easier to see where your own question fits.
All appointments for Townsend patients take place at our office in Port Dover. You are welcome to call without knowing which service you need; describing what you have noticed is enough for the team to suggest a sensible first visit.

General dentistry questions
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 best starting point. If you have pain, swelling or a broken tooth, describe it when you call so a more focused assessment can be arranged instead.
Do I need to bring a treatment plan from elsewhere?
It is not required, but it can help. The dentist will carry out their own examination, and any plan or X-rays from another office can be reviewed alongside the findings.
Is there a dental office in Townsend?
No. These pages are for Townsend residents who visit our practice at 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2, in Port Dover, where all appointments take place.
