If you're new to the North York neighbourhood, let us be among the first to officially welcome you! Moving to a new area can feel overwhelming, and finding your trusted team of healthcare professionals, including your dentist, is essential. That's why we're offering some helpful tips on finding the right North York dentist for your family. 

#1 Ask Friends and Neighbours for Referrals

Your neighbours can be an excellent resource for finding trusted healthcare providers. They may also know of trusted local dentists that are close to home. Ask your neighbours to whom they trust their smiles so you can get a list of potential providers. 

#2 Consult Online Reviews

Use sources like Yelp, Facebook, or Google to search for less biased reviews of your potential providers. Reading about other people's experiences at their dentist can help you decide if the practice is a good fit for you and your family. 

#3 Book a Consultation at a Dental Clinic Near You

Do you have a tooth that needs repair? Have you considered enhancing your smile with cosmetic dentistry? Booking an evaluation with your potential dentist will give you an idea about their treatment philosophies and ideas for your smile.

You can also review before and after pictures of their work to get an idea of their skill level and ensure it suits your needs. This is a great time to ask all your questions and get a feel for the dental practice's culture.
