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

A General Dentist like Dr. Vasquez 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. Vasquez 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Always check your private dental insurance or potential public coverage details before treatment.

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

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Vasquez will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary; Dr. Vasquez will determine the frequency based on your individual needs.

Does N/A offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts.
