Success is marked by their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations and a return to comfort and confidence.
- The primary focus for patients seeking help for persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene at Dr. Ivanisevic's practice is consistently achieving experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.

- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Ivanisevic typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Ivanisevic is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Ivanisevic may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Ivanisevic for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Ivanisevic will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Ivanisevic's specific recommendation.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Ivanisevic?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Ancaster Dental Care directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Ivanisevic.
- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In ON, 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ivanisevic at Ancaster Dental Care?
- Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Ivanisevic will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
- Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
- Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Ivanisevic will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
- I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Ivanisevic offer any sedation options?
- Yes, Dr. Ivanisevic understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. Ancaster Dental Care may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Ivanisevic during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
