Let us get to know your smile.
Changing dental offices can mean retelling your history and wondering what the first appointment will involve. A new patient exam gives us time to understand previous treatment, current concerns and what you want from your care.
For patients coming from Simcoe, our Port Dover team can explain the booking process and how to request useful records before the visit. Bring questions, even if you are not sure they are connected to your teeth.
Your care, step by step
Building your starting point
01
Share your history
We review health conditions, medications, past dental experiences and symptoms that may affect the examination.
02
Assess your mouth
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and oral tissues, using existing records and recommending further images only when needed.
03
Set priorities together
We explain the findings and distinguish immediate concerns from care that can be planned over time.
A detail worth discussing
A first exam is not automatically a cleaning.
Mention both services when requesting your appointment. The time needed for an examination and hygiene care can vary, particularly if it has been a while since your last visit.
The examination helps establish what care you need; a cleaning addresses deposits on your teeth and forms part of your hygiene care. Booking one does not necessarily reserve time for the other. Before making the trip from Simcoe, ask what your first appointment includes, whether records are needed and how much time to allow. If the assessment leads to a recommendation for further hygiene treatment, we can explain the proposed visits and fees before you decide how to proceed.
Planning your visit from Simcoe
Prepare once, before leaving Simcoe.
Ask about transferring records, bring your medication list and have your benefit information available. Tell us about accessibility or communication needs when booking.
Appointments take place at our Port Dover office. When requesting a time, let us know you are coming from Simcoe and ask about the expected visit length.

Your first appointment
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Do I need my previous X-rays?
Available recent images can be useful. Contact our team about requesting a transfer; the dentist will decide whether they provide the information needed.
What if I do not remember my last visit?
Tell us what you can. Missing dates do not prevent you from arranging an assessment, and we can discuss your present concerns first.
Will treatment begin that day?
The initial visit usually establishes your needs. Any proposed treatment, timing and fees are discussed with you before proceeding.
