At Unite H.E.R.E. Wellness and Dental Centre, 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. Iperifanou frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Iperifanou and the dental team. The clear aim is always their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• When patients discuss concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly, Dr. Iperifanou outlines a path to being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury, involves working systematically towards the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. Dr. Iperifanou expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• If their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure is preventing you from fully enjoying participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard or causing discomfort, Dr. Iperifanou offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Iperifanou will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. For example, those managing gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Iperifanou's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Iperifanou is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for all ages. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed for more complex cases.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, the provincial health plan (OHIP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals <em>may</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Iperifanou at Unite H.E.R.E. Wellness and Dental Centre?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Iperifanou, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Iperifanou will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Iperifanou will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What payment options are available at Unite H.E.R.E. Wellness and Dental Centre for dental services?

Unite H.E.R.E. Wellness and Dental Centre accepts cash, debit, and major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard). If you have dental insurance, bring your information; our team will help process claims. For extensive treatment, financing options can be discussed with our office manager.

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

No, you don't need a referral to see a general dentist for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book directly with Unite H.E.R.E. Wellness and Dental Centre.
