  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Steinberg-Sugar in Milton

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.
