Most of what this neighbourhood needs from a dentist is the ordinary work done properly and on time.
Forest Glade sits in the east end off Lauzon Parkway, a grid of quiet residential streets around Forest Glade Drive with the Optimist park and the community arena in the middle of it. The housing is family housing, built from the post-war years through the eighties, and a good share of it has turned over to younger households in the last decade or so.
That makes the dentistry here fairly predictable. Cleanings, checkups, children, the occasional filling, and a broken tooth on a bad week. Nothing exotic. Predictable is what you want from a dental practice.
Getting Here From Forest Glade
Lauzon Parkway and Lauzon Road are the two obvious runs out of the neighbourhood, and from there it is Tecumseh Road East or E.C. Row depending on which side of the city you are crossing. Either way it is a short drive outside peak hours and a few minutes longer inside them. Allow more time after snow.
The map, the entrance and directions are on the contact page. Our opening hours are published so you can match a slot to the school run rather than fighting it.
What Households Here Actually Book
- Family dentistry for adults and teenagers, grouped into one trip where the schedule allows
- Children’s dentistry — first visits, sealants where they are warranted, and watching adult teeth arrive
- Examinations at an interval that suits the person, which is not automatically every six months for every adult
- Fillings done while a cavity is still small and still a short appointment
If your child’s teeth are clean and nothing hurts, most of that appointment is us confirming it, showing them how to brush the bits they keep missing, and booking the next one. We are not going to invent work to justify the visit.
If You Already Have a Dentist Out Here
Plenty of people searching for a Forest Glade dentist are trying to find a practice they already attend. If that is you, and they look after you properly, stay where you are. A dentist who knows your history is worth more than a shorter drive.
We are worth a call if you have moved into the area, if you have been off the books for years and want to start again without a lecture, or if you need something your current practice does not do.
When Something Breaks
Call as early in the day as you can. Emergency dental care sets out what needs to be seen today and what can safely wait until morning. If there is significant facial swelling or you are having trouble swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department instead — we will tell you the same thing over the phone.
Missing a tooth already? Dental implants are one option and often a good one, but a back gap that is not causing the neighbouring teeth to drift can reasonably be left alone. We will tell you which situation you are in.
Coverage and What You Will Pay
We are a participating provider under the Canadian Dental Care Plan. One caveat worth knowing before you assume it is free: the plan reimburses on its own fee schedule, so a 0% co-payment tier can still leave a gap. We work that out with you in advance.
Workplace plans can usually be direct billed where the insurer permits it, and our fee ranges and payment options are published. You get a written estimate before treatment starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you accepting new patients from Forest Glade?
Yes. If you can get records or recent X-rays from your previous dentist, bring them — it saves repeating radiographs and it speeds up the first visit.
When should my child first see a dentist?
Early, and earlier than most parents expect. A first look around the first birthday or when the first teeth arrive is mostly about getting the child used to the chair. It is short, and it costs far less than a frightened seven-year-old with a toothache.
Do I really need to come every six months?
Not everyone does. Some adults with stable gums and no decay history are fine at longer intervals, and we will say so. Others need three or four months. The interval should be based on your mouth, not a default.
