At Diamond Dental Centre, 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. Diamond frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns under Dr. Diamond's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children without the former limitations or discomfort.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Diamond to see patients who were troubled by their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to successfully achieve their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Diamond about feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals is to attain an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
• Effectively addressing experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple with Dr. Diamond's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments and social interactions.

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 – such as those receiving benefits under the Healthy Smiles Ontario program). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Diamond Dental Centre.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Diamond at Diamond Dental Centre?

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

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Diamond offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Diamond understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Diamond Dental Centre may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Diamond during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Diamond 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.

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. Diamond. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Diamond 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.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care is recommended for most patients. Dr. Diamond 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. Diamond's specific recommendation.
