At Maple Hill Dental Office, 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. David frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. David's comprehensive care for noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer is meticulously designed to result in their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures without dental worries.
• Managing the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. David and the dental team. The clear aim is always their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. David to see patients who were troubled by experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth successfully achieve their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• Dr. David provides dedicated support for patients going through their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention, always aiming for positive outcomes like their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. David 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. David at Maple Hill Dental Office?

At your initial appointment, Dr. David and the team at Maple Hill Dental Office 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. David 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. David?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Maple Hill Dental Office directly to arrange their visit with Dr. David.

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 your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. David will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. David's specific recommendation.
