What does a general dental exam at Toothport Dental Centre include?
A general exam combines a visual check of your teeth and gums, digital X-rays when needed, and a screening for cavities, gum disease, and signs of oral cancer. Your dentist then walks you through the findings before recommending anything.
- Visual exam of teeth, gums, and bite
- Digital X-rays taken only when clinically needed
- Oral cancer and gum disease screening
- A plain-language walkthrough of any findings
Who should book a preventive cleaning at Toothport Dental Centre?
Preventive cleanings suit anyone due for a regular checkup, new patients who do not have recent records on file, and patients managing sensitive teeth or early gum concerns. Toothport also sees toddlers for their first checkup.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
Many patients are seen every six months. Patients with a history of gum disease or heavier tartar buildup may be recommended a different schedule, which the treating dentist decides based on what they see at each visit.
A dental checkup that feels different from the start.
At Toothport, we take our time with every check up appointment so you never feel rushed. You will have time to ask questions and understand your treatment options before making any decisions. You'll leave with a clear, personalized plan, not just a pamphlet.
What are sports guards, night guards, and sealants?
A sports guard protects teeth during athletic activity. A night guard helps protect teeth from grinding and can support patients with TMJ discomfort. Sealants are thin protective coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help guard against decay.
How much does a general exam and cleaning cost?
The cost of an exam is set, but the cost of a cleaning is based on each patient's needs. Toothport follows the recommended fee guide set out by the Ontario Dental Association (ODA).
Does Toothport Dental Centre accept insurance and CDCP for general care?
Yes. Toothport accepts the Canadian Dental Care Program and bills most major insurance companies directly. Coverage details vary by plan, and whenever possible an estimate is sent ahead of your appointment.
