Families in Port Perry and Scugog Township no longer need to travel to the city for world-class specialized dental care. Uxbridge Dental Specialists is located just 17 minutes away in Uxbridge, ON. Our team of certified specialists in dental anaesthesiology, oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, endodontics, and periodontics work collaboratively under one roof, so your family receives coordinated, compassionate care close to home.

Whether your child needs gentle pediatric dental treatment, a family member requires wisdom tooth removal, or you have been putting off necessary care due to anxiety, we are here to help. We welcome patients of all ages, from 2 years and up.

We understand that finding the right specialist for your child or family can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves travel, multiple referrals, or unfamiliar procedures. At Uxbridge Dental Specialists, we have built our practice to make that process as simple and reassuring as possible.

Our multi-specialty team collaborates under one roof, eliminating the need for multiple offices, repeated consultations, and separate trips across the region. From your child’s very first dental procedure to adult implants, root canal treatment, and periodontal care, Port Perry and Scugog Township families have access to a complete range of specialized dental services just a short drive from home.

Choosing the right pediatric dental specialist for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. We understand the trust that involves, and we take it seriously.

Our pediatric dentist completed a residency at Toronto’s SickKids Hospital, one of the most respected children’s hospitals in the world, gaining extensive experience treating children with a wide range of medical needs and complexities. She subsequently completed a three-year specialty training program in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Toronto. For families in Port Perry and Scugog Township, this means your child has access to a specialist whose training and experience reflect the very best available, just a short drive away on Regional Road 8.

Our entire team approaches every young patient with patience, compassion, and genuine care. We treat children from the age of 2 and provide a full range of pediatric dental services, including:

• Exams and radiographs (x-rays)
• Cleanings and fluoride treatment
• Oral hygiene instruction
• Fillings, in white or silver
• Crowns, in white or stainless steel
• Pulpal therapy (baby root canals)
• Space maintainers
• Extractions

Every child is unique. Some children are comfortable with traditional dental treatment, while others benefit from sedation or general anaesthesia to ensure their safety, comfort, and the quality of their care. Whatever your child’s particular needs, our specialists are equipped to help.

If your child experiences significant dental anxiety, has special needs, is very young, or requires more extensive treatment than a traditional appointment allows, sleep dentistry may be the right solution. Many parents in the Port Perry area are surprised to learn that this level of care is available so close to home.

Two of our dentists hold certification as specialists in dental anaesthesiology, a designation held by only approximately 50 dentists in all of Canada. This rare qualification allows our anaesthesiologists to administer any level of anaesthesia, from mild sedation to full general anaesthesia, carefully customized to your child’s age, weight, and individual needs.

A Comfortable Process Designed with Children in Mind

We recognize that the thought of needles can cause significant anxiety for young patients and their parents alike. That is why our youngest patients often fall asleep gently by breathing an anaesthetic agent through a flavoured mask, with no needles required at the outset. Once your child is comfortably asleep, an appropriately small IV is started and any additional monitors are carefully and quietly placed.

Throughout the entire procedure and into the recovery period, your child is continuously monitored by our dental anaesthesiologist and registered nurse. Vital signs including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, respirations, and temperature are tracked at all times. Most children recover comfortably and are ready to go home within 30 to 60 minutes of completing their procedure.

For Port Perry parents, this means your child can receive safe, high-quality dental care in a single, gentle appointment, just a short drive from home.

Dental anxiety is more common than many people realize. Millions of Canadians avoid necessary dental treatment due to fear, a sensitive gag reflex, difficulty getting numb from local anaesthetic, or simply the stress of prolonged procedures. If this resonates with you, you are not alone, and we can help.

Adults from Port Perry and Scugog Township can access the full spectrum of dental anaesthesia at our Uxbridge office, from a pleasantly relaxed, sedated state to complete general anaesthesia. Our certified dental anaesthesiologists take the time to understand your concerns and customize the anaesthetic to your specific needs, so you feel safe and at ease from the moment you arrive.

Better still, extensive dental work that might otherwise require multiple appointments spread over many months, including implants, crowns, root canals, extractions, and periodontal therapy, can often be completed in a single appointment while you sleep. For busy Port Perry families, this represents significant savings in both time and overall cost of care.

One of the most meaningful advantages of choosing Uxbridge Dental Specialists is the range of expertise available in a single location. For Port Perry and Scugog Township residents, this means fewer referrals, less travel time, and more coordinated, efficient care for every member of your family.
