Information for Patients

Yes! We are happily welcoming new patients and their families to our dental clinic. Please contact us to book an appointment.

Our dental office is open during the following hours:

Please bring along your current insurance plan details and fill out the two forms listed above.

Our recommendations for preventive treatment will differ based on your at-home care, the state of your mouth, the risk of cavities (caries), and your oral health habits.

We recommend that clients with existing conditions such as gum disease, untreated cavities, frequent new cavities, and root exposure should come in more often than those with healthy mouths and few restorations.

To help minimize further damage, patients who are considered 'at-risk' should see the dentist every three to four months.

For clients with healthy smiles, we recommend visiting the dentist every six months.

X-rays, also known as radiographs, help our dentists detect issues that are not visible through a mirror examination of your mouth. They are valuable for viewing beneath the gum tissue and between teeth.

Using X-rays, we can observe the presence or absence of teeth (emerging teeth, missing permanent teeth, the position of wisdom teeth, and impacted teeth), cavities in their early stages, and the bone level (which often deteriorates after teeth are extracted or during advanced gum disease).

Abscesses, cysts and calcified arteries (which can lead to a stroke) can also be seen with radiographs.

Insurance policies vary in coverage. The '9-month rule' pertains to how often you can have a recall exam, polishing, and fluoride treatment. This does not mean that you won't be able to have your teeth cleaned. 

Cleaning refers to 'scraping', or scaling/root planing. This is the removal of the deposits and stains from your teeth to help prevent your gum tissues from becoming irritated and bleeding.
