Do you have dental benefits that expire at the end of the year?

In this industry, it's all too common to see people wait until December to book appointments "before their yearly benefits expire," and clinics can't see them in time because they're already booking into the new year at that point.

We will always do our very best to squeeze you in if it’s possible, but we are "only human" and can only do so much in a limited time. That's why we're writing this post now - we are already booking into mid-November!

If you want to BE SURE you can use your coverage before it resets, give us a call, text, or email at your earliest convenience so we can save your spot before our calendar books up for the year.

Thank you for your patience last week🙏

We're back in the office after taking the week to re-energize the best way we know how - visiting family and spending time in nature (especially the mountains, when the opportunity allows) 🌄

How do you re-energize? (We'd love to see photos if you're comfortable sharing!) 📸

Please note: The office is closed until August 10th.

Have a great week! We look forward to seeing you when we're back :)

📣Important Update‼️

In the process of getting a handle on our daily schedule, I've noticed a challenge that we believe can be addressed with a community-first approach. Right now, we have patients waiting months for routine services, yet we are seeing scheduled appointments being cancelled so last-minute (or not attended without letting us know) that our team doesn’t have a chance to fill the spot with someone who is patiently waiting. If, as a community, we can minimize last-minute cancellations, we can reduce wait times for everyone.

While a 2-business-day cancellation policy was “officially” introduced a couple years ago, I understand that it hasn’t really been enforced consistently. We want to be transparent that starting today, this policy will be active for all appointments.

“How is this community-focused,” you ask?
▶ 100% of cancellation fees go back to the community: We see missed appointments as an issue of access to care, not a financial opportunity. We do not agree with the idea of taking money without providing a service. Because of that, 100% of any missed appointment fees collected will go directly back into our community through local donations, sponsorships, and supporting neighbouring small businesses across the Almaguin region.

▶ It’s all about empty chairs: Our only goal is to avoid unused time that could have gone to someone else. If you have to cancel last-minute but we are successfully able to fill your spot with someone from our waitlist, you won't be charged anything. (FYI: hygiene appointments are generally the most challenging to fill at the last minute).

Thank you for helping us keep dental care timely, fair, and supportive for everyone in our neighbourhood. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me directly by contacting the office!

We finally got the chance to check out South River Scoops 'N' More (a couple times) recently. So far, we can confidently recommend:

✅ Ice Cream, Sorbet, and Fro-yo
✅ Wraps and sandwiches
✅ Garlic butter-crusted Pizza
✅ Banana Bread

Thank you to all the staff we interacted with while we changed our minds about what we wanted about 100 times - you guys made us feel right at home from the first interaction!

⭐️ Pro tip from the dentist's sweet-toothed partner: When you finish a sweet treat, swish some water around your mouth to mitigate the time your teeth and gums are exposed to sugar! It doesn't replace brushing, flossing, and mouthwash, but it's a small thing you can do immediately if you like sweets as much as I do.

Dr. Maiya and Joel went to the Magnetawan Farmers' Market on July 11th and were amazed at the wide array of incredible vendors!

They want to pass on a special mention and thank you to Carol for taking the time to show them some beautiful gems sourced both locally and globally - and to her friend Gwen who showed them how beautiful these stones sparkle in the sunlight. Anyone who has been to the office knows that all the staff here have an affinity for rocks, and they certainly feel the same.

They can't wait to get back to the Mag Market and hope to see you there!

What other local markets do they need to check out?

06/25/2026

The office will be closed tomorrow (June 26th) and next week (June 29th - July 3rd) 🗓️⏳

If anything urgent comes up during this time, please be sure to find alternative care. Otherwise, we'll look forward to connecting on July 6th!
