General and Family Dentistry in Woodstock

General and family dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth and gums.

Services at our practice range from routine and preventive care to children's dentistry, emergency care, restorative treatment, oral surgery and sedation.

Patients of all ages are welcome at our office, from a child's first dental visit through adulthood and later life.

Appointments for several family members can often be scheduled close together. Because oral surgery is provided in-house, extractions and wisdom teeth removal can also be completed at the same office.

Services available at our Woodstock office include:

• Check-ups and professional cleanings
• Gum disease treatment
• Children's dentistry
• Same-day emergency appointments accommodated
• Fillings, crowns, bridges and root canal therapy
• Dentures and dental implants
• Teeth whitening and veneers
• Oral surgery and wisdom teeth removal
• Sedation and sleep dentistry for oral surgery
• Night guards and appliances for TMJ and sleep apnea

A routine check-up is an examination of the teeth, gums and mouth used to monitor oral health and identify concerns at an early stage.

Check-ups are usually scheduled at the same appointment as a professional cleaning. They are typically recommended every six months, although the interval varies with each patient's oral health.

Preventive care also includes guidance on brushing, flossing and diet to help protect the teeth and gums between visits.

Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is available to help anxious patients relax during cleanings and general dental treatment. Patients who feel anxious are welcome to mention this when booking an appointment.

Sedation and sleep dentistry are available for oral surgery, which is provided at our office by Dr. John McIntosh, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

For patients experiencing dental pain, swelling, a broken tooth or an injury to the mouth, same-day emergency appointments are accommodated.

Patients do not need to be registered with the practice to be seen for a dental emergency.

New patients of all ages are welcome, including patients covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).

Convenient evening and Saturday appointments are available to accommodate work and school schedules.
