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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Mount Albert Dental Centre.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bianchi at Mount Albert Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Bianchi and the team at Mount Albert Dental Centre will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Bianchi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time 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 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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bianchi 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).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Bianchi offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Bianchi understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Mount Albert Dental Centre offers various sedation options, which may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, depending on your needs and the planned procedure. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Bianchi during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach.
