Everything You Need for Your Dental Visit
We want your dental care to feel simple and comfortable from the beginning. Whether you are visiting North Park Family Dental Care or Riverstone Dental Care, our team is here to help you understand your appointment, treatment options, insurance, and payment information.
Porter Dentistry is a family-owned practice with two convenient locations in Brampton. Both locations are part of the same dental family and share our commitment to friendly service, personalized care, and consistent quality.
Patient Forms
Completing your forms before your appointment can help save time when you arrive.
If you are a new patient, you may be asked to provide information about your health history, medications, allergies, and dental concerns.
Contact our team if you have questions about the forms or need help completing them.
Insurance and Billing
We understand that dental insurance can sometimes be difficult to understand. Our team is here to help make the billing process easier.
Porter Dentistry offers direct insurance billing to help reduce the paperwork you need to manage. Please bring your insurance information to your appointment so our team can review the details with you.
Insurance coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking your individual benefits for specific information.
Canadian Dental Care Plan
Porter Dentistry accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
If you are covered through the CDCP, our team can help you understand how your coverage may apply to your dental care. Please bring your CDCP information to your appointment.
Coverage depends on your eligibility and the services included under your plan.
Financing Options
We understand that some dental treatments may require additional financial planning. Financing options are available to help make it easier to plan for eligible dental care.
Our team can explain the available options and help you understand your payment choices before treatment begins.
If you have questions about the cost of treatment, please speak with our team. We want you to feel informed about your care and payment options.

Dental Technology
iTero Digital Scanning
At Porter Dentistry, we use iTero digital scanning to capture clear, detailed images of your teeth and mouth.
The iTero scanner captures digital images without the need for traditional dental impressions. When needed for your treatment, digital scanning can help our team plan your care with greater accuracy and make certain procedures easier and more comfortable for you.

Our two Brampton locations are close together, giving you flexibility in choosing where to receive your care. Whichever location you visit, you can expect the same friendly approach, personalized attention, and commitment to quality care.
Our team is proud to serve the Brampton community and build long-term relationships with local families.
