At Eye Smile, 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. Necula frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Necula expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy). A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance, means they can happily and comfortably get back to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• If feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time is preventing you from fully enjoying their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends or causing discomfort, Dr. Necula offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• A key objective when treating needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect at Dr. Necula's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Necula at Eye Smile?

Your first visit with Dr. Necula 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. Necula 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.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Necula 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. Necula's specific recommendation for optimal oral 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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Necula 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Eye Smile directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Necula.

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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). We strongly advise patients to verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and to always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Eye Smile.
