As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dr. Banack is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Davis Orthodontics, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• If ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem has unfortunately put no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Banack works closely with patients towards attaining their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• For those affected by their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence, Dr. Banack provides solutions that lead to their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Banack when they first notice their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle without hesitation.
• If their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Banack develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.

How long does orthodontic treatment (e.g., braces, Invisalign®) usually take with Dr. Banack?

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies significantly depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the patient's age, the type of appliance used (braces or Invisalign®), and the patient's cooperation with the treatment plan. While average treatment times can range from 12 to 36 months, Dr. Banack will provide a personalized estimate after a thorough orthodontic assessment and diagnosis.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or your insurance provider, to have a referral from your general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information about your dental history and confirms that a specialist consultation is appropriate. If Dr. Banack determines you need specialized care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated and efficient care. If you're unsure whether a referral is needed, check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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

For most patients, routine check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Banack will personalize your visit schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, patients managing active gum disease or those at high risk for cavities might need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. Always follow Dr. Banack's specific recommendations.

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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting may be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any public coverage and always review your private dental insurance plan details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment.

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

Dr. Banack and the team at Davis Orthodontics are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr. Banack during your consultation. They can explore various comfort measures and relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides sedation services.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Banack at Davis Orthodontics?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Banack and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Banack will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.

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

No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You are welcome to contact Davis Orthodontics directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Banack.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Banack will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
