• Overcoming or effectively managing a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is a common journey for patients under Dr. George's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily become straightforward again.
• If a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. George develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth.

• If their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing has unfortunately put smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. George works closely with patients towards attaining their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr. George. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. George identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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. George 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. George at HealthOne Dental TW?

At your initial appointment, Dr. George and the team at HealthOne Dental TW 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. George will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact HealthOne Dental TW directly to arrange their visit with Dr. George.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. George can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. George can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. George 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
