At Boardwalk Dental Care, 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. Culp frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Culp's practice, a key objective is their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..
• For patients where their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation is a primary concern, Dr. Culp focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• When patients discuss one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly, Dr. Culp outlines a path to gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Culp when they first notice a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Culp, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Culp is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

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

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

Yes, Dr. Culp understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Boardwalk Dental Care may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Culp 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 to minimize radiation exposure further. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Culp 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. Culp typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Culp 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. Dr. Culp may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr. Culp 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). Following Dr. Culp's specific recommendation is important.

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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Culp at Boardwalk Dental Care?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Culp and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Culp will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
