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. Price frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Numerous patients have successfully addressed concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history with Dr. Price's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped once more.
• Understanding the frustration concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches can cause, Dr. Price tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Price when they first notice needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth without hesitation.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Price will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Price's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or 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, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at N/A.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Price 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. Price at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Price will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Price will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Price for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Price typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Price is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding).
