Should I choose 123Dentist for my family’s dental care?

Choosing the right dental care provider for your family is a big decision. You want a clinic you can trust with everything from your child’s first check-up to more complex treatments for adults and seniors. 123Dentist is a Canadian network of dental practices designed to make that choice easier by combining trusted local dentists with modern technology and flexible care options.

Below, you’ll find an overview of what 123Dentist offers, how we support families, and practical details like insurance, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and appointment options to help you decide if we’re the right fit for your family’s dental care.

What is 123Dentist?

123Dentist is a network of locally owned and operated dental practices across Canada. Instead of a single clinic, it’s a community of dentists who share common standards for patient care, technology, and service.

For you, that means you can often find a 123Dentist clinic close to home, work, or school, with:

A consistent standard of care across locations
Local teams who understand their communities
Access to a variety of services under one network

Each practice is unique, but they share a commitment to making dental care easier, more comfortable, and more accessible for Canadian families.

Family-focused dental care for every age

One of the key reasons to consider 123Dentist for your family’s dental care is that most locations are designed to treat patients at every life stage.

Care for children and teens

Many 123Dentist clinics welcome children and offer:

First visits for toddlers and young kids
Preventive care like cleanings, fluoride, and sealants
Education on brushing, flossing, and diet
Monitoring of growth and development
Referrals or in-house options for orthodontics when needed

Creating a positive first experience at the dentist can help children build healthy habits for life, and a family-oriented practice can make those early appointments feel more comfortable and routine.

Care for adults

For adults, 123Dentist practices typically provide:

Regular check-ups and cleanings
Fillings and restorations
Crowns, bridges, and root canal treatments
Periodontal (gum) care
Cosmetic options like whitening and veneers (availability varies by clinic)
Options for dental implants and other restorative treatments

Having most services available within the same network can make it easier to coordinate care over time.

Care for seniors

Many 123Dentist clinics are experienced in supporting seniors, including:

Ongoing gum and bone health monitoring
Replacement of missing teeth with bridges, implants, or dentures
Adjustments and maintenance of existing dentures
Extra support for medical and mobility needs

This continuity of care can simplify dental visits as your needs change with age.

Comprehensive services under one network

While each clinic’s offerings may vary, 123Dentist locations commonly provide a wide range of services, such as:

Preventive dentistry (exams, X-rays, cleanings)
Restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, bridges)
Dental implants (various types may be available depending on the clinic)
Cosmetic dentistry (such as whitening or Digital Smile Design where offered)
Root canals and extractions
Periodontal (gum) treatments
Emergency dental care

Some clinics may also offer Digital Smile Design, an advanced planning approach used in cosmetic and restorative dentistry to help visualize changes before treatment begins.

Because the network includes many different dentists and specialists, families with more complex needs may be able to find the right provider within 123Dentist without starting their search from scratch.

Technology and modern treatment options

Many 123Dentist practices use up-to-date technology to support diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient comfort. While specific equipment can vary, you may find features such as:

Digital X-rays for clearer images and efficient assessments
Digital Smile Design for advanced smile planning at participating clinics
Modern materials for restorations and cosmetic treatments

If technology is important in your decision, you can ask your local 123Dentist clinic about the tools and techniques they use.

Do 123Dentist clinics accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

Many families are now asking how the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) works with their dental provider. 123Dentist clinics can answer questions such as:

What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
How do I apply for the CDCP?
Who is eligible for the CDCP?
What dental services are covered under the CDCP?
Do you accept CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan) patients?

Because coverage and participation can vary by clinic and by patient eligibility, it’s important to contact your local 123Dentist practice directly. They can let you know whether they accept CDCP patients and help you understand what services may be covered under the plan.

Other insurance and payment options

In addition to the CDCP, many 123Dentist practices work with a variety of dental insurance plans and benefits. Depending on the clinic, you may find:

Direct billing to insurance providers where available
Help understanding your coverage and out-of-pocket costs
Payment plan options or flexible payment methods

Checking with your local clinic before your appointment can help you avoid surprises and plan your family’s dental budget more confidently.

Common dental questions your 123Dentist clinic can help with

Families often have recurring questions about how to protect their oral health. 123Dentist practices are prepared to answer concerns such as:

Are there different types of dental implants, and which is right for me?
How effective is whitening toothpaste compared to in-office whitening?
What foods help or harm my smile?
How do you whiten teeth naturally and safely?

Whether you’re curious about cosmetic options, preventive care, or everyday habits, your dental team can provide tailored advice based on your age, health, and goals.

Convenience and accessibility for busy families

Finding time for dental appointments can be challenging. Many 123Dentist clinics focus on making visits easier for families by offering:

Multiple appointment slots throughout the week
The ability to schedule back-to-back or same-time appointments for family members (where possible)
Locations in or near residential areas, workplaces, or transit routes

Some practices may also provide reminders, online booking, or digital forms to simplify the process further.

How to decide if 123Dentist is right for your family

To decide if you should choose 123Dentist for your family’s dental care, consider the following steps:

Find your nearest clinic
Look up nearby 123Dentist locations and note their hours, services, and accessibility.
Check services and technology
Confirm that the clinic offers the types of care your family needs now and may need in the future (for example, children’s dentistry, implants, or cosmetic treatments).
Ask about CDCP and insurance
Contact the clinic to confirm whether they accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and how they handle other insurance plans, direct billing, and payment options.
Consider comfort and communication
A good family dentist should communicate clearly, answer your questions, and make you and your children feel welcome and informed.
Schedule a first visit or consultation
An initial exam or consultation is often the best way to see how the clinic operates and whether it feels like a good fit for your family.
