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. Nicolucci frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Nicolucci understands that dealing with a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day and feeling their best.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Nicolucci about recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit is to attain successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• The journey from their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure to wellness often involves Dr. Nicolucci's dedicated care. The milestone is experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area, which opens the door back to activities such as enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• If a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is preventing you from fully enjoying no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out or causing discomfort, Dr. Nicolucci offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Nicolucci, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Nicolucci 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 important to follow Dr. Nicolucci's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nicolucci at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Nicolucci and the team at N/A 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. Nicolucci will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Nicolucci 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 do if I have a dental emergency outside of N/A's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of N/A’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (519) 472-7450. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr. Nicolucci or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the London area.

They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.
