At Dentistry on Dufferin, 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. Iaboni frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Iaboni about a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close is to attain gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• A key objective when treating needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional at Dr. Iaboni's welcoming dental clinic is achieving achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Overcoming or effectively managing experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits is a common journey for patients under Dr. Iaboni's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, so that daily routines and pleasures like their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness become straightforward again.
• For patients where a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment is a primary concern, Dr. Iaboni focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Iaboni 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. Iaboni for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Iaboni 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Iaboni's specific recommendation.

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Iaboni at Dentistry on Dufferin?

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.
