At Canamera Dentistry, 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. Bordeianu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Bordeianu about their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is to attain their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.
• If experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite has unfortunately put concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Bordeianu works closely with patients towards attaining their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Overcoming or effectively managing needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect is a common journey for patients under Dr. Bordeianu's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, so that daily routines and pleasures like confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity become straightforward again.
• Dr. Bordeianu provides dedicated support for patients going through concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches, always aiming for positive outcomes like their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.

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 always 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. Bordeianu 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).

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Bordeianu promptly.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bordeianu at Canamera Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Bordeianu will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Bordeianu will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

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

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Bordeianu will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Bordeianu'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 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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Bordeianu offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Bordeianu understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Canamera Dentistry offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Bordeianu during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Bordeianu 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
