Trusted Dental Care for Westmount Residents
Westmount has always been one of Southwest London’s steadier neighbourhoods. Homes here range from older condos to well-kept single detached houses, and a good number of residents have lived in the area for decades, through several rounds of home renovations and more than a few dental appointments. This page is for Westmount residents at any stage of that journey, whether you are due for a routine cleaning, thinking about dentures for the first time, or just looking for a dental practice that will not rush you.
Serving Westmount & Southwest London
Decades of Smiles: Long-Time Westmount Patients Share Their Experience
Some of the patients we see most often have been coming to us for a very long time, long enough to remember previous versions of their own smile. We would like this section to feature real stories from long-time Westmount patients, told in their own words with their permission, rather than a general summary. We are in the process of gathering those stories now and will update this page once they are ready to share.
Directions & Access from Westmount
Driving from Wonderland Road South and Viscount Road
Most Westmount residents reach us by heading north or east from the Wonderland Road South and Viscount Road area toward Oxford Street West. It is a manageable drive most of the day, and like most of London, the corridor is busiest right around school dismissal and the late-afternoon commute.
LTC Bus Routes That Connect Westmount to Our Clinic
Westmount Shopping Centre has long been a stop for several London Transit routes, since a fair number of Westmount residents rely on transit rather than driving. Route numbers and schedules do shift from time to time, so if you are planning a visit by bus, it is worth checking londontransit.ca for the current routes serving the Wonderland Road South and Oxford Street West corridor before you head out.
Getting In the Door Comfortably
We know that a dental visit can feel like more of a production when mobility is a factor, whether that means a cane, a walker, or just needing a bit more time getting from the car to the chair. If you let our team know ahead of your appointment, we can plan around whatever helps your visit go smoothly, from where you are dropped off to how much time we build into your appointment.
Services Westmount Patients Rely On
Dentures, Partials and Implant-Supported Options
Full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported options are some of the most common conversations we have with longtime patients whose needs have changed over the years. Which option makes sense depends on things like remaining tooth structure, bone health, and what you want day to day, so this is very much a discussion rather than a one-size answer, and we walk through the trade-offs of each option before recommending anything.
Crowns, Bridges and Restorative Dentistry
Worn fillings, cracked teeth, and teeth that need more support after a root canal are common reasons Westmount patients come in for restorative work. For many suitable cases, our CEREC same-day crown technology allows a custom ceramic crown to be designed, milled, and placed in a single visit rather than the older two-appointment process.
Gum Health Checks at Every Cleaning
Gum health tends to change as patients get older, and we build a check of your gums into every regular cleaning rather than treating it as a separate step. If we notice early signs of concern, such as bleeding, recession, or looser teeth, we will walk you through what we are seeing and what the next step would look like, rather than assuming you already know.
Preventive Care for Adults 55+
Regular checkups and cleanings stay just as important later in life as they were at twenty, even though the reasons shift toward things like dry mouth from medication, wear on older fillings, and changes in bone density. We adjust the pace and approach for what an adult patient actually needs, without treating older patients as a special category with a different standard of care.
Your Neighbours in Southwest London
Near Westmount Shopping Centre and Westmount Lions Park
Westmount’s daily life runs through a short list of places: Westmount Shopping Centre for everyday errands, Westmount Lions Park along Viscount Road for a walk or some fresh air, and the Westmount Community Centre for year-round programming. Residents coming from any of these spots are a short drive from our Oxford Street West practice.
Coordinating Care with Your Physician or Specialist
Dental health and overall health are connected more often than people expect, particularly for patients managing multiple medications or ongoing health conditions. If it would help your care, we are glad to communicate with your family doctor or another provider you are already seeing, with your permission, so everyone involved in your care is working from the same information.
Frequently Asked Questions From Westmount Patients
Do you accept ODSP / CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan)?
We accept patients using the Canadian Dental Care Plan, though eligible services, pre-approval requirements, and any co-pay depend on your specific plan and income tier. If you have dental coverage through ODSP or another government program, bring your details when you book so our team can look at exactly what applies to your situation.
Can you help if I haven't seen a dentist in years?
Yes, and you will not get a lecture about it. A lot of patients come back to dental care after a long gap because of a move, a busy stretch of life, or plain avoidance, and our first visit together is simply about finding out where things stand, usually with an exam and some digital X-rays, before talking through options at a pace that makes sense to you.
Is transportation assistance available?
We do not run a transportation service ourselves, but we are happy to work with your schedule if you are coordinating a ride through a family member, a community transportation program, or London Transit. If timing around a ride is a concern, mention it when you book and we will do what we can to find an appointment window that works.
Schedule Your Westmount-Area Visit
Westmount residents have a lot of years, and a lot of dental history, between them, and we think that deserves a dental practice that takes the time to know your particular situation rather than rushing through it. We Smile Dentistry welcomes new patients from Westmount and the surrounding Southwest London area, with the kind of unhurried, judgment-free care that a longer relationship with a dentist should include.
