Focused Expertise. Accessible Care. Seamless Coordination.

A dental specialist is a dentist who has completed additional accredited education and clinical training in a specific area of practice, such as oral surgery, orthodontics, gum health, or endodontics.
Specialists manage conditions that may be beyond the scope of general dentistry and often work in collaboration with primary dental providers to ensure coordinated care.

Your First Appointment

Your initial consultation typically includes:

Review of medical and dental history

Clinical examination

Diagnostic imaging, 
if required

Discussion of findings and treatment considerations

We prioritize clear communication so you can understand your diagnosis, available treatment options, and recommended next steps.
If you have a general dentist, we will provide them with a summary of findings and coordinate care as appropriate.

Continuity of Care

Dundurn Dental Specialty focuses exclusively on specialty services. Once specialty treatment is completed, patients are typically returned to their general dentist for ongoing preventive and restorative care.

If you do not currently have a dentist, our team can provide guidance regarding next steps following completion of treatment.

Financial & Insurance Information

Our administrative team can assist with reviewing insurance coverage and providing information regarding anticipated treatment costs prior to proceeding. We aim to ensure patients have a clear understanding of financial considerations before beginning care.

Comfort & Sedation Options

For patients who experience dental anxiety or require complex treatment, sedation options may be discussed depending on clinical need and medical suitability. All sedation services are provided in accordance with established professional standards.
