Questions about one treatment are answered on that treatment's page. If you cannot find what you need, please get in touch and we will help.

Frequently Asked Questions at Adelaide Dental, Downtown Toronto

Questions patients ask us

How soon can I get an appointment?

Routine visits can usually be booked within the next few weeks. If you have pain, swelling or a broken tooth, please call and tell us it is urgent. We offer same-day appointments, and our emergencies page has advice for the meantime.

Can I come before or after work?

Yes. We open early in the morning on weekdays, stay open into the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and are open on Saturdays. Each day's hours are at the bottom of this page.

How long does a check-up and cleaning take?

It helps to allow about an hour. A first visit takes a little longer because it includes a full examination.

Is my insurance accepted?

We bill insurers directly, so you pay only what your plan does not cover. If you are unsure what your plan includes, we are happy to check before your visit. See fees and insurance.

Do you take the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

Yes, we do. Our Canadian Dental Care Plan page lists what to bring and what you might be asked to pay.

I have not been to a dentist in years. Will that be a problem?

No, and please do not feel embarrassed. It is common, and nobody will lecture you. We will start with an examination, tell you what we find, and deal with anything urgent first.

How do I switch from my current dentist?

Book a visit with us and sign a release. We will then ask your previous office for your chart and recent x-rays, so you do not have to repeat them.

Do you treat children and teenagers?

Yes, we do. See children's dentistry.

My gums bleed when I brush. Should I book?

Yes, please do. Bleeding is an early sign of gum inflammation and is easiest to put right at that stage. Our gum treatment page explains what an assessment involves.

Can I straighten my teeth without braces?

Often. Invisalign uses clear removable aligners, and a consultation will tell you whether it suits your teeth.

What if I need to change my appointment?

Please call us as soon as you know, so the time can be offered to someone who is waiting. Thank you for letting us know.

Do you offer whitening?

Yes. See professional teeth whitening. We check for decay and gum problems first, since whitening over either can be uncomfortable.
