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

A General Dentist like Dr. Ciavarro 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include some cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Ciavarro also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Coronation Dental Specialty Group directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Ciavarro.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Ciavarro offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Ciavarro focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Ciavarro will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Ciavarro's specific recommendation is important.

What is Coronation Dental Specialty Group's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Check your insurance coverage before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ciavarro at Coronation Dental Specialty Group?

At your first visit, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Ciavarro, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Ciavarro will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments.
