At Romanson Dental Care, 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. Kohlmeier frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Kohlmeier often consults with patients whose a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal significantly limits their enjoyment of speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Understanding the frustration a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain can cause, Dr. Kohlmeier tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism, allowing for renewed participation in activities like being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.
• The journey from concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches to wellness often involves Dr. Kohlmeier's dedicated care. The milestone is the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, which opens the door back to activities such as no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• Patients presenting with a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry under Dr. Kohlmeier's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain without the former limitations or discomfort.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Kohlmeier, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Kohlmeier is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Romanson Dental Care directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kohlmeier.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Kohlmeier will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Kohlmeier's specific recommendations.

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kohlmeier will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kohlmeier at Romanson Dental Care?

At your first appointment, Dr. Kohlmeier and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Kohlmeier will then explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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 in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.
