At Dental Works on Cornwall, 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. Sequeira frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Sequeira and the dental team. The clear aim is always their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider, Dr. Sequeira offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• The journey from one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly to wellness often involves Dr. Sequeira's dedicated care. The milestone is finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• If waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding has unfortunately put enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Sequeira works closely with patients towards attaining clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Sequeira, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Sequeira is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dental Works on Cornwall directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Sequeira.

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 provided by 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 Dental Works on Cornwall.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sequeira 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. Sequeira for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Sequeira will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Sequeira's specific recommendations.

What is Dental Works on Cornwall's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Sequeira. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. We appreciate your cooperation.

They educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sequeira at Dental Works on Cornwall?
