New Patient’s First Appointment
New Patient Visit
When you call our office in Ottawa, Ontario at 613-592-5105, our treatment coordinators, Emily or Chantelle, will greet you. They will provide you with forms to fill out, either by mail or the Internet. They'll direct you to our office and ask that you arrive a bit early if you haven't had a chance to fill out the forms.
Your examination will include an overall evaluation of your mouth, teeth, jaw joints and screenings for oral cancer and gum disease. Dr. Peterson will use her findings to devise a comprehensive treatment plan for your unique condition. We will offer information to help you understand the problems we find and our treatment recommendations. Before you go, we will schedule your next appointment. Our treatment coordinators will help you plan a convenient schedule for treatment, that will help you start your treatment immediately, heading towards the dental health you desire and deserve.

We appreciate your interest in our dental practice. We’d like to help you find out if our dental practice is right for you.
You may discover that we are different from the average dental practice. When you visit our office, you will find a unique and relaxing environment. Our team is friendly and attentive. All of our treatment is designed to be comfortable, to be long-lasting, and to exceed your expectations. We use the latest technology and techniques our profession has to offer.
Our biggest strength lies in how you are treated. We allow extra time so that you are never rushed. We want to know what we can do to develop the best possible professional relationship with you. We provide state of the art dentistry, but what does that mean? A large part of our practice involves the type of procedures you may have seen on television, such as whitening and porcelain veneers for your front teeth.
However cosmetic dentistry is also for your back teeth. This aspect of our practice involves replacing worn-out and unattractive dental work with beautiful, natural-looking restorations. If you have dark mercury- silver fillings, mismatched caps that appear dark at the gum-line, or chipped/broken teeth, we can help you.
Another important part of our practice is functional, neuromuscular dentistry. This involves helping people with TMJ/TMD, jaw joint problems. If you have worn-down teeth, headaches, clicking in the jaw joint, face/neck or back pain or bite problems, we can help you with that as well. When you come to see us we will ask you questions to find out what areas of dentistry you are interested in. You may find that by combining our areas of expertise, you can achieve the best results. During the examination phase, we are here to show you what we see. Ultimately, whatever treatment you receive is your choice, our training allows us to provide you with all of the possibilities.
Because you are an active participant in your treatment, knowing what is important to you about your smile, both cosmetically and functionally, is helpful to us. We look forward to seeing you!
