At N/A, 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. Foresto frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Foresto understands that dealing with a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, helping patients comfortably get back to biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence and feeling their best.
• When patients discuss a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, Dr. Foresto outlines a path to an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• If experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease has unfortunately put feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Foresto works closely with patients towards attaining the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr. Foresto often consults with patients whose experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite significantly limits their enjoyment of their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Foresto, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Foresto.

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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at N/A.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Foresto 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Foresto may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Foresto determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Foresto will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Foresto's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Foresto at N/A?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Foresto will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
