Explore care for Walsingham patientsThe care most smiles need
Everyday dental care, organized by what you are dealing with.
Most dental visits fall into a few broad groups: keeping teeth healthy, fixing a tooth that has been damaged, deciding what to do when a tooth cannot stay, and looking after the gums and comfort of the mouth over the years. The sections below sort our general services along those lines so you can go straight to the topic that fits.
For people living in Walsingham and the surrounding countryside, every appointment listed here takes place at our office in Port Dover. If you are not sure which page describes your concern, call and explain it in plain words. The team can help you book the right kind of visit.

Where are these services provided?
All general dental care described on these pages is provided at Port Dover Family Dentistry, 697 Norfolk County Highway 6, Unit 2, Port Dover. There is no office in Walsingham itself.
I have not seen a dentist in a long time. Where do I start?
A new patient exam is usually the best first step. It gives the dentist a full picture of your teeth and gums, and you can talk through priorities before any treatment is planned.
Can I bring a treatment plan from another dentist?
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 exam and discuss your options.
