General Dentistry
We receive many questions from new patients about what to expect during their first appointment. These are the most common concerns we address:
Will I See the Dentist or Hygienist First?
Your first appointment at Smilehaus Newmarket typically lasts 60-90 minutes and includes a comprehensive exam, digital x-rays, and usually a professional cleaning.
What If You Find Problems?
If we discover issues like cavities or gum disease, we'll show you using our digital imaging technology and explain your treatment options clearly. We'll discuss the timeline, costs, and answer all your questions before recommending any treatment.
Will You Lecture Me About My Dental Habits?
Never. We're here to help, not judge. Whether you haven't visited a dentist in years or you're dealing with dental anxiety, we'll work with you to develop a plan that fits your needs and comfort level.
What Should I Bring to My First Appointment?
Bring your insurance card (if applicable), a list of any medications you take, and any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss. We'll handle the rest.
Call Smilehaus Newmarket at (365) 909 3999 to schedule your first visit. We serve patients throughout Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Aurora, and surrounding Toronto communities.
Your Newmarket dentist, and most dentists, recommend twice-yearly dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings.
By visiting the dentist every six months, we can catch emerging oral health issues early and provide specific treatments to help lower your risks for the following complications or issues:
- Tooth Decay
- Tooth Infections
- Gingivitis
- Gum Disease
- Bad Breath
- Tooth Stains
Of course, your dentist may further customize this schedule based on your oral health profile.
Your Checkup and Teeth Cleaning in Newmarket
Dental checkups include a visual exam of the teeth, gums, and related tissues. We also take periodic x-rays if we suspect an issue or to monitor your oral health over time. Oral cancer screenings, dental sealants, fluoride treatments, TMJ therapy, and your professional teeth cleaning are also part of prevention.
Professional teeth cleanings mean you relax in the dental chair while we remove debris from your teeth; this debris can harbour cavity-causing bacteria that can lead to oral health issues in the future. Your teeth cleaning rids your smile of tartar, plaque, and general bacteria—everything your toothbrush and floss leave behind.

Smilehaus Newmarket: We Emphasize Prevention
Prevention is the hallmark of lifelong oral health. Additionally, keeping your smile healthy helps maintain your candidacy for advanced oral health treatments, such as smile makeovers.
We recommend visiting us twice a year for dental checkups and teeth cleanings because these visits help reduce your risk of tooth decay, gingivitis, gum disease, bad breath, and tooth infections. Of course, we always customize your treatment plan should issues arise.
Also, if you’re an anxious patient or phobic about the dental setting, we understand and want to help you feel at ease. Besides providing treatment in a relaxing, nurturing environment, we can also discuss sedation dentistry in Newmarket.
