Routine visits, repairs and replacements, sorted by what you need.

Every appointment is held at our office in Port Dover. If you are not sure which service fits, simply describe what you have noticed, and the team will suggest the visit that makes sense, whether that is a full checkup or a closer look at one tooth.

General dentistry questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
What should I book if I am new to the practice?
A new patient exam is usually the best starting point if nothing is urgent. If you have pain, swelling or a broken tooth, say so when you call, so the team can arrange a focused assessment sooner.
Can my exam and cleaning be on the same day?
Often they can. Ask when booking, and let the team know if it has been a while since your last cleaning, since that may affect how much time is set aside.
