What to Expect on Your First Visit
Scheduling Your Appointment
Scheduling your first appointment at Georgian Dental is easy! You can call us directly, visit our website to book online, or stop by our office to schedule in person. Our friendly front desk staff will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
Preparing For Your Visit
To make the most of your first visit, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork. On your first visit, we’ll need to gather your information and have you fill out some forms before the appointment can begin. You can also download and fill out our new patient forms from our website before your appointment.
Make sure you remember to bring:
- Medical History – Your medical history is very important to us. Be prepared to provide information about your medical history, any medications you are taking, and inform us about any dental concerns you may have.
- Insurance Information – Bring your insurance card if you have dental insurance. We’ll help you to understand your benefits and coverage so you know exactly what is covered and what costs will be out-of-pocket.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Your first visit will typically include a comprehensive dental exam. This thorough evaluation will allow us to assess your oral health and create a customized treatment plan.
- Initial Consultation – One of our dentists will meet with you and discuss your dental history, concerns, and goals.
- Oral Examination – A detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth will be performed. This includes a check for any possible signs of oral cancer.
- Digital X-rays – If necessary, we will take digital X-rays to get a complete view of your dental structure.
- Professional Cleaning – In most cases, a professional cleaning will be performed by one of our hygienists to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
- Dentist Check-up – The dentist will then come in to look at your teeth, look at any areas that may be of concern, and recommend further treatment for those concerns.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on the findings of your exam, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan will be discussed with you in detail, including the recommended procedures, estimated costs, and any alternatives.
- Consultation – We believe in educating our patients. An informed patient can make the right decision for their health, lifestyle, and budget. We want all of our clients to have a clear understanding of their oral health and the steps needed to achieve optimal dental health.
- Scheduling Follow-up Appointments – If additional treatments are needed, we’ll help you schedule these at a time that is convenient for you.

Family and Kids Dentistry
At Georgian Dental, we understand the unique needs of families and children. We are committed to providing a positive dental experience for patients of all ages, making us the perfect choice for family dentistry.
Kid-Friendly Environment
Our clinic is designed to be welcoming and comfortable for children. We strive to create a fun and stress-free environment to help kids feel at ease during their dental visits. Appointment times are based off the age of the patient, starting at 30 minutes. Our main treatment operatories have TVs on the ceilings to ensure children can relax and remain entertained throughout the treatment. We also have fun sunglasses and patterned dental bibs for pediatric patients to help keep appointments as relaxed and interactive as possible.
When young children are brought into the clinic, we start by showing them the space and the cool chairs, offering them a ride on it before treatment starts. All of our hygienists use the show, tell, do method and have fun nicknames for the different equipment that will be used. Dental models are used to help explain treatments to children before they are performed. Kid-friendly polish and fluoride flavours are provided for children to choose which they’d like. Each child receives a goodie bag at the end of their appointment. Additionally, we run a monthly “Cavity Free Club” where children who are cavity-free at their appointment can enter their name into a draw for a chance to win a prize that month.
Friendly Staff
Our team is trained to work with children, using a gentle and reassuring approach to make dental visits enjoyable.
Pediatric Dental Care
Children have different dental needs than adults. Our pediatric dental care is tailored to address these specific needs. Our services for children include:
- Regular Check-Ups and Cleanings – Preventive care to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
- Fluoride Treatments – These treatments help to strengthen teeth and prevent cavities.
- Sealants – These protect the chewing surfaces of molars from tooth decay.
- Orthodontic Evaluations – These evaluations assess the need for braces or other orthodontic treatments.
Education and Prevention
We believe that education and prevention are key to maintaining good oral health from a young age. Our team takes the time to teach children and their parents about proper dental hygiene practices.
- Brushing and Flossing Techniques – We demonstrate for children the best ways to brush and floss at home to encourage good oral habits from a young age.
- Healthy Eating Habits – We advise on proper nutrition and its impact on dental health.

Patient Testimonials
“I decided to go to Georgian Dental after reading some good reviews. Dr. Meghan is really good at her job. The best part is that they pay attention to all the questions and concerns and explain everything properly. I am really happy with the service. I would also like to mention that the hygienist Nikki has such a calming vibe to her. I am always anxious to see the dentist and for some reason, I was more relaxed around her. I would recommend Georgian Dental to my friends and family.”
