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

A General Dentist like Dr. Laboncz 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 if offered). Dr. Laboncz 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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at N/A.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of N/A's regular office hours?

For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of N/A’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (613) 828-2277.

Dr. Laboncz will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Laboncz's specific recommendation.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Laboncz and the team at N/A will focus on getting to know you and your oral health.

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