• When noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Chevalier helps patients strive for an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This makes participating in activities such as enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth a pleasant and possible experience again.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Chevalier at Wyandotte Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Chevalier and the team at Wyandotte Dental Centre will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Chevalier will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Chevalier 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Chevalier'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 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 always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Chevalier for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Wyandotte Dental Centre.

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 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. Chevalier 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).
