At Quantum Health Dental Office, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Treger frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Treger about experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth is to attain their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
• Patients experiencing simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Treger's practice, a key objective is achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Treger when they first notice a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, enabling them to once again enjoy travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies without hesitation.
• If feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Treger develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Treger, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Treger at Quantum Health Dental Office?

Your first visit with Dr. Treger will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Treger will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Treger for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Treger will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Treger's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Treger will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact Quantum Health Dental Office directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Treger.
