Land O’ Lakes Dental

Yes, we welcome new patients of all ages!

We offer a wide range of dental services, including routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers, and emergency care.

You can book an appointment by calling our office directly or using our contact page to email your request.

If you’re a new patient, we’ll schedule you with the dentist of your preference (if you provide one at the time of your booking), or you’ll be seen by the dentist who has availability on their schedule that day. Returning patients will continue to see their previous providers to ensure continuity of care. If there is someone in particular you’re hoping to see, feel free to let us know when booking your appointment.

The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. We love having children around the office! There’s nothing more rewarding than helping a child see that going to the dentist is nothing to be scared of. For children, we emphasize early dental care to promote healthy habits from a young age. Our warm and friendly team ensures that each child receives personalized care tailored to their age and oral development, so we can put them on a path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. We strive to make each visit enjoyable and educational, fostering a positive attitude towards dental hygiene from a young age.

You can help them by talking positively about dental visits, reading books or watching videos about dental health, and encouraging healthy oral habits at home.

Not all dental problems have obvious symptoms at first, and catching them early will save a lot of money and hassle down the road. Not only can we identify problems before they become painful and expensive, but we can also help to keep your smile looking fantastic. Our team recommends a checkup and cleaning 1-2 times per year to maintain optimal oral health.

It’s common to feel anxious about dental visits due to previous negative experiences, fear of pain, or uncertainty about what to expect. Many people share these same feelings! We do not take it personally when people say they hate the dentist! It’s our goal to help you have a more positive experience than you may have had before. Our team is trained to help patients feel comfortable and at ease. We’ll take the time to explain each step of your treatment, answer your questions, and proceed at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

There are several strategies to help manage dental anxiety: Communicate your fears: Let our team know about your anxiety. We can provide extra support and reassurance. If you need breaks during your appointment or have specific requests, please let us know so we can accommodate you. Practice relaxation techniques: Techniques like deep breathing, visualization, or listening to music during your appointment can help calm your nerves. Consider sedation options: Options such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation can help you feel more relaxed during your procedure.

Yes! We accept most insurance plans and are able to directly bill most providers. We also accept many government-sponsored insurance plans. For specific questions about your insurance coverage, please contact our office.

In case of a dental emergency, such as severe pain, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, contact our office immediately. We offer emergency dental services and will do our best to see you as soon as possible. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent further damage or complications.

There are several effective methods for teeth whitening that we offer, depending on your needs and preferences. These include professional in-office whitening and take-home whitening kits. Our dental team can help determine the most appropriate method for you based on your dental health and whitening goals.

Dental x-rays are a crucial tool for diagnosing underlying issues that are not visible during a regular dental exam. The amount of radiation from dental x-rays is very low, especially with modern digital x-rays, which reduce exposure significantly. We ensure that all precautions are taken to minimize any risks associated with x-rays.
