What your appointment may involve
Your visit begins with a review of your concerns and health history, followed by an examination and any diagnostic records your dentist considers appropriate. Findings, treatment options, likely steps, and alternatives are explained before care proceeds.
What to expect at your visit
A typical visit starts with a review of your medical and dental history, current medications, and any concerns you want addressed. We answer questions before treatment begins so you know the plan.
Next, we complete a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues. We check existing fillings and restorations, look for cavities and gum disease, and screen for oral cancer. If treatment is recommended, we explain the options, timing, and what each step involves before you decide.
When general & family dentistry can help
Book a visit if you need a checkup or cleaning, have tooth pain or sensitivity, notice bleeding gums, a chipped or broken tooth, or simply want a clear picture of your oral health. We also see patients transferring from another office who need a new baseline exam and ongoing care plan.

Family dentist vs. general dentist: what is the difference?
Family dentists and general dentists have the same dental training. The difference is focus: a family dentist sees patients of every age, from a toddler’s first visit to a grandparent’s denture check. For your family, that means one office, one set of records, and a team that gets to know your household’s dental history over time.
Accepting new patients in Cornwall
York Street Dental Centre is welcoming new patients of all ages. You do not need a referral. Call us at (613) 932-1620 or request an appointment online, and let us know if you are booking for more than one family member.
For your first visit, bring your insurance details or CDCP information, a list of current medications, and any recent dental X-rays or records if you have them. Our new patient page explains the first visit in more detail.
How often should your family see the dentist?
Many patients do well with a checkup and cleaning about every six months, but the right interval depends on your gum health, cavity risk, and medical history. Some people benefit from more frequent visits, while others can go longer. We recommend a schedule for each family member after their exam. Learn more in how often should you visit the dentist.
Insurance, direct billing, and CDCP
We offer direct insurance billing for many dental plans, so the portion your plan covers can be sent directly to your insurer. We also welcome eligible patients under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). If you are not sure what your plan covers, our front desk can help you understand your coverage before treatment.
