Serving Simcoe patients at our Port Dover office
Explore care for Simcoe patientsBegin with the person and the support they need
A workable visit starts before the appointment.
Medical, developmental, cognitive or sensory needs can affect how someone experiences dental care. Useful preparation includes communication preferences, daily support and the practical requirements of an examination or procedure.
Simcoe patients and their chosen support people can contact our Port Dover team to discuss these details. We consider what the practice can accommodate and when a different provider or setting may be more suitable.
Your care, step by step
Planning individualized support
01
Share relevant needs
Discuss health information, communication, consent and the assistance the patient prefers.
02
Agree on arrangements
The team reviews appointment length, access and possible adaptations before care begins.
03
Review feasibility and follow-up
The plan considers treatment needs, home care and whether specialist or medical coordination is required.
A detail worth discussing
Involve the patient in decisions wherever possible.
A caregiver can provide valuable information, but communication should remain respectful of the patient’s preferences and decision-making rights. Discuss consent arrangements with the team in advance.
Tell us how the patient prefers to receive information and express discomfort, including communication aids or routines that have worked elsewhere. A short account of successful previous appointments can be more useful than a general description of their needs. Before travel is arranged, clarify who will attend, what assistance is available and whether coordination with another provider is necessary. Planning should address the individual person as well as the dental procedure.
