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

Generally, preventative check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for most patients. However, Dr. Conte 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. Conte's specific recommendation.

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before beginning treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Conte at Savanna Endodontics?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Conte and the team will focus on understanding your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Conte will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is an ideal time to ask questions.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Conte will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact Savanna Endodontics directly.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Conte identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider if you are unsure.
