Family Dentistry in Aurora

What it is

Family dentistry means one clinic that knows your whole household. Your teen's braces check, your own filling and your parent's denture adjustment can all happen here, with one set of records and one team who knows your family's history. It also means one phone number to call when you need to change three bookings at once.

Our general dentists provide the everyday care most people need through life: checkups and cleanings, fillings, gum care, crowns, root canal treatment, dentures and night guards. When something needs a different setting, such as a complex surgery, we refer you and stay in touch with the other office. Children's visits have their own page, because young kids need a slower, different approach. For adults, the focus is keeping natural teeth healthy for life and catching small problems, like a cracked filling or early gum disease, before they grow.

Busy weeks are the main reason families fall behind on checkups. We are open until 7 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 9 am to 3 pm on Saturdays, so many visits can happen outside school and work hours. On weekdays we open at 10 am.

Our team speaks English, فارسی (Farsi), தமிழ் (Tamil) and Tagalog. Ask for a team member who speaks your language when you book. This can help if you or a family member would be more at ease in one of these languages. This can matter most for older relatives explaining symptoms or reviewing a treatment plan.

Is it right for me?

• You want every member of your household seen at the same clinic
• Weekday daytime appointments are hard to fit around work or school
• An older parent needs help with dentures, dry mouth or gum care
• Someone in your family would feel more at ease speaking فارسی (Farsi), தமிழ் (Tamil) or Tagalog
• You have moved to Aurora, Newmarket or nearby and need a new dental home
• You have a mix of insurance, CDCP and IFHP coverage across the family

Benefits and risks

Cost and coverage

Each family member is billed for their own care, based on the exam and any treatment, with the Ontario Dental Association fee guide as our reference. Families often have mixed coverage: a parent on a work plan, a child on the Canadian Dental Care Plan, a grandparent on CDCP as a senior, or a newcomer on the Interim Federal Health Program. We bill all of these directly and sort out which plan pays for whom. For family members without coverage, ask about our in-house dental plan and student program. Before any treatment, each person gets a written estimate, so you can plan the household budget.

What shapes your estimate

• How many family members are being seen and what each person needs
• Whether X-rays are due for each person
• Any fillings, gum care or denture work found at the exams
• Each person's insurance plan, CDCP or IFHP coverage
• Whether anyone is using our in-house plan
