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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for optimal preventative care. However, Dr. Chapeskie will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. For instance, those managing gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Chapeskie's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact Water Street Dentists directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Chapeskie.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Chapeskie at Water Street Dentists?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form and discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Chapeskie. A thorough examination of your mouth will follow, including digital X-rays (if needed) to get a complete picture of your oral health. Dr. Chapeskie will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's an excellent opportunity to ask questions.

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Modern digital X-rays use minimal radiation and are very safe, especially with protective lead aprons. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, planning complex treatments). Dr. Chapeskie will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
