Information For Patients
Burlington Dental Academy dentists work together to ensure that emergency dental care is available for our patients after hours and on weekends and holidays.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency you may leave a message for the dentist on-call at 905-464-1876. The dentist will return your phone call and discuss your condition over the phone. If emergency dental treatment is required, the dentist will provide you with information about his/her clinic and fees for treatment.
Dentists in Burlington are committed to removing financial barriers to dental treatment. The government of Ontario provides some financial support for dental treatment for children and seniors in financial need, as well as some adults on government assistance programs.
