At Headon Dental Office, 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. Manor frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Manor to see patients who were troubled by concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches successfully achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• Dr. Manor's comprehensive care for their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is meticulously designed to result in their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort without dental worries.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options with Dr. Manor's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence once more.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Manor about wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is to attain their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Manor, 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. Manor?

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

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 Headon Dental Office.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Manor at Headon Dental Office?

Your first visit with Dr. Manor 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. Manor 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.

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

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

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Manor 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).
