Dental Care Without Barriers: Our Commitment to Accessibility

At our practice, we firmly believe that exceptional oral healthcare should be easily accessible to everyone in our community. For patients who use wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or experience limited mobility, visiting the dentist can sometimes present unnecessary hurdles and anxiety. That’s why we have intentionally designed our office environment, parking facilities, and clinical spaces to be completely barrier-free, ensuring your visit is smooth, safe, and stress-free from the moment you arrive.

Your visit begins before you even step through our doors. We offer dedicated, clearly marked accessible parking spaces located right near the main entrance, featuring wide loading areas to accommodate vans and ramp systems comfortably. Our building entry features smooth, level access with no steep steps or awkward thresholds to navigate. Inside, our hallways and reception areas are wide, spacious, and clutter-free, allowing you or your loved ones to maneuver easily without feeling cramped. We have two operatories that have wide entrances and a larger square footage.

When it comes to your actual treatment, we understand that transferring out of a custom mobility device into a standard dental chair can be difficult, uncomfortable, or medically unsafe for some patients. We are fully equipped and trained to perform comprehensive dental exams, cleanings, and many routine procedures directly while you remain seated comfortably in your own wheelchair. Our operatories feature adaptable layouts and flexible equipment arms, allowing us to bring our tools, lighting, and digital imaging right to you.

Beyond physical accommodations, our compassionate team takes the extra time to listen to your specific needs, comfort preferences, and physical requirements. Whether you need a little extra time during your appointment, specific positioning adjustments, or assistance navigating your paperwork, we tailor every detail of your care to suit you. Providing dignified, and comfortable care isn't just a feature of our office—it is the core of how we serve our community.

At Petras Family Dental in Amherstburg, we are proud to provide gentle, accessible care for patients of all physical abilities.
