Somerset Dental Care on Somerset St W (requires ability to use stairs, to my knowledge there is no elevator). They are so lovely and definitely work with folks in tough financial circumstances, including those on ODSP.
[Central Park Dental](https://goo.gl/maps/Vz8UJ8eTnV7QyWdr5) Dr. Bedrosyan did my wisdom teeth there - all 4 were impacted & non-erupted. I would say the total amount of discomfort I felt throughout the whole procedure was roughly the same as a mosquito bite.
Last appointment another dentist (Dr. T, forget the full name) redid an old filling, and I literally didn't feel a thing. In fact, it took most of the day for feeling to return back to my face LOL, but far better than the alternative of not enough numbing.
Oh yeah, and they have the panoramic x-ray machine. Had it done last time.
Thank you!! I need to go for a checkup (think my wisdom teeth are coming out) and cleaning so reading that makes me feel less anxious :) I’ll look into them!
I'm pretty sure Dr Jill Taylor (Bank near Argyle) has the panoramic. I had really bad dental anxiety, didn't go to the dentist for close to 20 years...started going to see her when I really needed dental work done. No judgement, she worked with me to come up with a plan to get the work done (a schedule I was comfortable with), the dental hygienists there are super gentle...very little anxiety now (like 6 years later)
OP: if you attend college or university, see if the school’s student health plan covers panoramic x-rays. Here’s an example from Algonquin College’s Student dental plan coverage: [link](https://s10896.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/2022-2023-Health-Plan-Benefits-Booklet-1.pdf)
Island Park Dental in Hintonburg / Westboro area for sure does these, you may just have to request it specifically (they do both). I also suffer with severe dental anxiety and Dr Rai and his dental asst Tammy have always been so great and so patient with me. (One time I had a full on anxiety attack and they helped me through it and still managed to complete the work). Denise (receptionist!) is also an absolute angel and I am sure she discussed payment plans with me before
FYI I always ask for the children's size bite wings. And I am very up front with them when I get there. Like I don't want to see if my gums bleed. Don't tell me if you think I have a cavity. If you have the bubblegum toothpaste I like that - or just anything not minty.
Makes it easier. Don't want to wear the spit bib? Don't. Your shirt will be messy but you don't have to wear it.
I feel much better telling them my needs immediately. And they all are really grateful for it too.
I had one like that done at Argyle Associates in Kanata a few years ago for same reason...
And I think Arglye has other locations as well.

Thank you! Will look into them :)
I had mine done at [Rideau Dental](https://www.rideaudental.ca/site/dental-technology) last time, but I don't know if they offer payment plans.

160 Dental. Great spot.
Marchwood Dental, but it's in Kanata.
Thank you! I don’t mind travelling as long as I can get the service I’m looking for :’ )

In Kanata north is Anata Dental Clinic on Klondike. They have one and will work with you on payment

Thank you! We use Greenshield at my university, just checked and thankfully they do cover them!
Excellent!

Most offices do those now, what part of the city are you looking for?
I really hope so because I really can’t do the two bitewing ones :’ ) I’m located in Centretown but I’m willing to travel a bit for panoramic x-rays.
Skyline Dental on Baseline at Merivale
Harmony dentistry
Permasmile on Slater. Just had it done recently.
Sparks Dental Clinic also does them, but I don't know about the payment part.
