Understanding Family Dentistry
Family dentistry provides comprehensive oral health care for patients of all ages under one roof. A family dental practice is your household's one stop destination for checkups, cleanings, fillings, and other treatments, whether for toddlers or grandparents.
Building a long term relationship with a family dentist ensures continuity of care, consistent record keeping, and a team that understands each family member's dental history. It also makes scheduling simpler, multiple family members can often be seen on the same day.

Insurance, Billing, and Payment
Cost should not be the reason a family puts off dental care. We direct bill most major insurance providers, accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan, and offer financing on larger treatment plans so the cost can be spread out.

Cost of Family Dentistry
The cost of family dentistry depends on which treatments each family member needs, from a routine cleaning to more involved restorative care. Because every patient's needs are different, we do not publish set pricing on this page. Contact our office for a personalized quote, and ask about our direct billing and financing options.
