What Happens at the First Visit
Each first visit is tailored to the patient's needs, whether the appointment is for a routine check-up or a specific concern.
Registration and medical history
New patient forms are completed, including medical history, current medications and dental insurance or CDCP details.
Examination
The teeth, gums and bite are examined, and x-rays are taken when required.
Discussion of findings
The dentist reviews the findings and answers any questions about oral health and treatment options.
Treatment plan and scheduling
If treatment is recommended, the plan and associated costs are explained, and follow-up appointments are scheduled.
What to Bring
Patients are asked to bring the following to their first appointment:
- Dental insurance or CDCP information
- A list of current medications and supplements
- Details of any medical conditions or allergies
- Contact details for a previous dentist, where available
Arriving ten minutes before the appointment allows time to complete registration.
Insurance and the Canadian Dental Care Plan
Our team reviews each patient's coverage before treatment begins so that costs are clear in advance.
Patients covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) are welcome. Patients are asked to bring their CDCP information to their first appointment.
Patients Who Feel Anxious
Patients who feel anxious about dental visits, or who have not seen a dentist in some time, are welcome. Each step of treatment is explained before it begins.
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is available to help anxious patients relax, including during cleanings and general dental care.
