• If a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Corby develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• At Dr. Corby's clinic, addressing a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close means focusing on patient goals. Achieving the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• Dr. Corby often consults with patients whose experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth significantly limits their enjoyment of delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Corby will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Corby?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Corby.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Corby typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Corby is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Corby also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, provincial health plans (like OHIP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Corby at N/A?
