At Clinique Dentaire Casselman Dental Clinic, 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. Berger frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- Numerous patients have successfully addressed a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close with Dr. Berger's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity once more.
- When an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain, Dr. Berger and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option and a return to comfort and confidence.
- Dr. Berger's comprehensive care for an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing is meticulously designed to result in their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects without dental worries.
- Effectively addressing feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth with Dr. Berger's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication and social interactions.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Berger, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Berger 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. Berger?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Berger for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique Dentaire Casselman Dental Clinic.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Berger for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for optimal preventative care. However, Dr. Berger will personalize your (or your child's) schedule based on individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, patients managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while those with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Berger's specific recommendations.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Berger at Clinique Dentaire Casselman Dental Clinic?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Berger and the team at Clinique Dentaire Casselman Dental Clinic 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. Berger will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great 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 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 or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs exist for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before starting treatment at Clinique Dentaire Casselman Dental Clinic.
- 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 for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Berger will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
