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

• If concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history has unfortunately put waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Nemeth works closely with patients towards attaining their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Understanding the frustration their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) can cause, Dr. Nemeth tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, allowing for renewed participation in activities like being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.
• Effectively addressing recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit with Dr. Nemeth's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness and social interactions.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is a common journey for patients under Dr. Nemeth's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, so that daily routines and pleasures like their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health become straightforward again.

Your specialized treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Nemeth, will be meticulously designed to address your unique concerns and help you reach your specific objectives within their area of expertise.

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

Yes, persistent bad breath (halitosis) and bleeding gums can be signs of gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. While a general dentist often addresses early stages of gum disease, a Periodontist like Dr. Nemeth specializes in diagnosing and treating more advanced or complex cases. This includes both surgical and non-surgical therapies to control infection and restore gum health. A referral from a general dentist is often recommended, but not always required.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a Periodontist like Dr. Nemeth for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Brantford Periodontics.

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

For most adults, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Nemeth will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr. Nemeth's specific recommendations.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Nemeth will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from your general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Nemeth identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nemeth at Brantford Periodontics?

Your first visit 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. Nemeth will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning may 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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, 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). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment.
