WE'RE ALWAYS ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS!
If you’re looking for a uniquely focused, friendly, and comfortable dental care experience, welcome to Dartmouth Dental Centre. We offer a wide range of general, cosmetic, and restorative dental services for your whole family. But more than that, we go above and beyond to help you feel good about your visit and your oral health. We look forward to meeting you and your family!
WHAT TO EXPECT
As a new patient, your first visit will be a private, comprehensive examination which includes:
-
Reviewing your medical history
-
Assessing the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, soft tissues of the mouth and gums
-
Assessing periodontal health by measuring the gum level around each tooth
-
Examining each individual tooth as well as bite condition
-
Screening for oral cancer
-
If deemed necessary, an X-ray or other diagnostic imaging
Once we complete your examination, we’ll discuss your diagnosis with you and come up with an effective treatment plan.
OUR PATIENTS SAY IT BEST
I just wanted to send a quick note to say how great you are! Every time we visit your office, we have a great experience. The entire staff, from the minute we walk through the door until we walk out and everyone in between is friendly and professional. Let’s face it, the dentist isn’t known for being a “fun” place, but let me just say that we have no problem going to the dentist! The consistent friendly faces and warm smiles are wonderful. What a great team. Thank you.

CLEANINGS
We will book your first cleaning for you after we complete your new patient exam. This is because, depending on your diagnosis, you may need to meet our dental hygienist for a longer length of time.
Unless you’re experiencing a dental emergency, children under 15 will have their teeth checked by the dental hygienist first. Kids will have their teeth, gums, and bite examined by the dentist as well as have their teeth cleaned all in the same appointment.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
OUR PATIENTS SAY IT BEST
I just happened to drop in and so very happy I did. Dr. Pegg and her assistant were very accommodating, understanding, and compassionate. I'm not a fan of going to the dentist but they made sure I was comfortable in every way and that made it that more easy for me. Looks like I have a new dentist that I'm comfortable enough with to go when I should.

When you arrive for your first visit there will be a Patient Information form to complete. This helps us learn about your oral health history.
Please arrive 15 minutes early for your first appointment in order to complete this form and bring any dental insurance information you have (policy and ID numbers specifically).

Dr. Lucy and her team were amazing from the moment I called in for an appointment! The team did a fantastic job from the moment I walked in right until the very end. I am forever grateful for her hard work and dedication! Thanks again and looking forward to my next appointment!
