• The primary focus for patients seeking help for an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected at Dr. Erbiceanu's practice is consistently achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• Dr. Erbiceanu's comprehensive care for the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding is meticulously designed to result in their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments without dental worries.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Erbiceanu when they first notice their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction, enabling them to once again enjoy maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects without hesitation.
• Through Dr. Erbiceanu's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment often find they can readily achieve their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Erbiceanu, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Eagle Ridge Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Erbiceanu.

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 also used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Erbiceanu 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).

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 specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check the details of your private dental insurance before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Erbiceanu provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, 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. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Erbiceanu may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Erbiceanu at Eagle Ridge Dentistry?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive examination: 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. Erbiceanu will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
