At The Manor Dental Centre, 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. Abramowicz frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Abramowicz's comprehensive care for a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long is meticulously designed to result in receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily without dental worries.
• With Dr. Abramowicz's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling is focused on achieving feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain without dental concerns.
• Dr. Abramowicz often consults with patients whose experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth significantly limits their enjoyment of kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort or impacts their self-confidence.

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 for programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Abramowicz will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Abramowicz's specific recommendation.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Abramowicz will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density. Dr. Abramowicz can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Abramowicz can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact The Manor Dental Centre directly.

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

Dr. Abramowicz and the team at The Manor Dental Centre are committed to making your experience comfortable. Please discuss any anxieties with Dr. Abramowicz. They can explore comfort measures and relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a specialist who provides sedation services.

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

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Abramowicz at The Manor Dental Centre?
