At 9th Line Dental, 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. Suer frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Suer develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.

This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child participating happily in school photos and social activities with a healthier smile.

The treatment philosophy centers on enabling finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs, so that daily routines and pleasures like being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures become straightforward again.
• Dr. Suer understands that dealing with their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach can be challenging.

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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at 9th Line Dental.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Suer will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Suer's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Suer at 9th Line Dental?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including a 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. Suer will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with 9th Line Dental.

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

Yes, Dr. Suer understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, 9th Line Dental may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation (depending on the specific qualifications). Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Suer during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest 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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Suer will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Suer provides primary dental care for all ages, offering 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 complex needs. Dr. Suer may also offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
