New Patient Dental Exams in Ottawa
New to Ledbury Dental? Your first visit maps out your whole mouth and leaves you with a clear, written plan — and costs and coverage spelled out.
Your first visit at Ledbury Dental is about getting to know you. We review your health history, listen to any concerns, and complete a comprehensive exam of your teeth, gums, bite, jaw and soft tissues — with digital X-rays where needed and an oral-cancer screening. It usually takes about an hour, and it's never rushed.
If it has been years since your last checkup, you are in good company. There is no judgement here, just a fresh start. We explain what we see in plain language, show you your X-rays, and help you decide what matters most — and what can wait.
You leave with a written treatment plan showing what the Canadian Dental Care Plan or your insurance covers and what, if anything, you would pay. Not enrolled in the CDCP yet? Our coordinators can walk you through the application.
