If you're new to the Etobicoke area, let us be among the first to officially welcome you! Moving to a new neighbourhood can feel overwhelming, and finding your trusted team of healthcare professionals, including your dentist, is essential. Here are some helpful tips on finding the right Etobicoke dentist for your family.

#1 Ask Your Local Community for Referrals

The tight-knit communities of Long Branch, New Toronto, and Alderwood can be excellent resources for finding trusted healthcare providers. Your neighbours likely know reliable local dentists close to home. Don't hesitate to ask fellow parents at the local parks or community centres about their trusted dental providers.

#2 Check Online Reviews

Make use of platforms like Google, Facebook, or Yelp to research unbiased reviews of potential providers in the South Etobicoke area. Reading about other residents' experiences can help you determine if a practice aligns with your family's needs and expectations. 

#3 Schedule a Consultation at Local Dental Clinics

Whether you need routine care or are considering cosmetic dentistry, booking an evaluation with potential dentists will give you insight into their treatment philosophies and approach to dental care. This is an excellent opportunity to:

  • Review their before and after work
  • Get a feel for the practice's atmosphere
  • Ask questions about their services and approach
  • Understand their scheduling flexibility

#4 Why Not Consider Toronto Lakeshore Dental for Your Family's Dental Care?
