Telehealth offers a convenient way to connect with a dental team without an immediate in-office visit. It can be a helpful first step when you have a concern, need guidance or want to understand what to do next. Many patients appreciate telehealth because it supports busy schedules, reduces travel time and provides a calm setting to ask questions. It can also help caregivers coordinate care for children, older adults or family members who need extra support.
At McKay Family Dentistry, telehealth is designed to feel personal, private and easy to follow. Dr. Michael McKay leads each visit with a patient-centered approach focused on listening first, explaining clearly and planning responsibly. Our dentist and team use secure communication tools and plain language so you know what is happening and why it matters. We also aim to create an inclusive experience.
Telehealth does not replace every appointment. Some concerns require an in-person evaluation to fully understand what is going on. When that is the case, we will explain the reason, discuss timing and help you schedule the next step. When a concern can be supported with education and monitoring, we will outline practical guidance and clear follow-up expectations.
What to Expect During a Virtual Visit
A telehealth visit focuses on listening, education and planning. You will share what you are experiencing, when it started and what has changed. If helpful, we may guide you on how to share clear photos so we can better understand what you are seeing. You can expect a respectful conversation and a plan you can act on.
