We love hearing about your kids, grandkids, and the rest of your family, as we pride ourselves on being a Family Dental Center.
Is Having a Family Dentist Important?
In Canada, most people have a family doctor. It’s an excellent resource for health checkups, a point of contact for minor illnesses, and a professional you can trust for major referrals.
The same can be said for having a family dentist. They provide yearly exams, treat a variety of dental conditions and ensure contact with any additional specialists when needed.
There are many advantages to having a family dentist for your family’s oral care needs.
Established Relationship
Choosing a family dentist early on allows you to build a trusting relationship with the dental team and helps establish an oral health baseline to see where you’re starting from.
This is particularly helpful when assessing new conditions as your dentist already has the previous health history, saving you time and money.
Wellness and Preventive Care
Regularly seeing your dentist for checkups and cleanings helps keep the mouth healthy and prevents the buildup of plaque and tartar that can cause problems down the road. Fluoride treatments keep teeth enamel strong and ward off cavities when used correctly.
Your dentist keeps your teeth and gums in good working order, much like your mechanic with your car. Regular maintenance now prevents breakdowns later down the road.
Dental Detections
Your dentist examines the mouth, teeth and gums for any problems, and with early detection and correction, helps you avoid the more costly treatments in the future. A small cavity filled may prevent a root canal if spotted well in advance.
X-rays help determine problems unseen to the eye and allow corrections to occur even before you know there’s a problem.
Convenience
It’s a lot easier to call up your family dental clinic and book a visit when you need care when you already have the foundation built. You won’t have to fill in new patient forms or start from scratch with a full evaluation and instead get straight to the problem.
Save yourself calling around when you are already suffering from a toothache, and have your family all registered with a family dentist that knows you and your history. One-stop shop for all your family’s oral health care and hygiene needs.
Our dental team is friendly and offers patient-first compassionate, and gentle care. We strive to provide expert services to your whole family by staying current with the latest dental advances and technology.
Our stylish and comfortable dental office welcomes you and your family to take advantage of our free parking, extended hours, and weekend appointments.

Family Dentistry FAQs
What age should I start taking my child to see the dentist?
A great time to bring your child for their initial exam is somewhere between six and twelve months of age. This will allow us to watch development and assess the health of your baby’s first teeth! After that, regular checkups are recommended at six-month intervals.
