At N/A, 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. Core frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal is a common journey for patients under Dr. Core's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, so that daily routines and pleasures like their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication become straightforward again.
• Dr. Core provides dedicated support for patients going through a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them, always aiming for positive outcomes like clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.
• If a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Core develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Core to see patients who were troubled by needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain successfully achieve their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Core will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for 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. Core'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 which 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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Core 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. Core at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Core and the team at N/A 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. Core will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Core.

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, 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). Always check your private dental insurance coverage details and verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for before treatment.
