At Milton Family 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. Steinberg-Sugar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury, Dr. Steinberg-Sugar provides solutions that lead to their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma, Dr. Steinberg-Sugar offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.
• Dr. Steinberg-Sugar expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, means they can happily and comfortably get back to being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.
• Through Dr. Steinberg-Sugar's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults often find they can readily achieve their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Steinberg-Sugar at Milton Family Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Steinberg-Sugar 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. Steinberg-Sugar 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.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Steinberg-Sugar typically provide?

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

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 by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups, such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. Patients should verify their eligibility for any public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Steinberg-Sugar?

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Steinberg-Sugar 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).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Steinberg-Sugar 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 may have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Steinberg-Sugar's specific recommendations.
