• For those affected by an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear, Dr. Simone provides solutions that lead to their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.
• At Dr. Simone's clinic, addressing a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• Dr. Simone often consults with patients whose a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces significantly limits their enjoyment of speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings or impacts their self-confidence.

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 always 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. Simone 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Simone at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Simone 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. Simone 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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Simone.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Simone 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) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Simone's specific recommendation.

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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.
