As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Periodontics & Implant Surgery, Dr. Braun is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At N/A, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches at Dr. Braun's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• Patients presenting with a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment under Dr. Braun's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem without the former limitations or discomfort.
• If wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Braun develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is a common journey for patients under Dr. Braun's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event, so that daily routines and pleasures like confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures become straightforward again.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Braun 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Braun's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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. Braun. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Braun identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If you are unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Braun will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes 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. Braun will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 if you are eligible for any public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at N/A.

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. Braun 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).

Can persistent bad breath or bleeding gums be a sign I need to see a Periodontist like Dr. Braun?

Yes, persistent bad breath (halitosis) or bleeding gums can be signs of gum disease (periodontitis). While a general dentist often provides initial treatment, a Periodontist like Dr. Braun specializes in diagnosing and treating more advanced or complex cases of gum disease, including surgical and non-surgical therapies to control infection and restore gum health. A referral from a general dentist is common.
