However, Dr. Necolas will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Necolas is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for patients of all ages. This includes preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, 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 such as whitening or bonding. Dr. Necolas also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and will refer you to specialists when more complex care is needed. They may also offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, most routine and major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics are not covered by the provincial health plan (OHIP). Some limited dental surgeries done in a hospital setting might be covered. The majority of dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (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, annual maximums) before beginning treatment at N/A.

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

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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. Necolas will discuss the findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this or a following visit.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Preventing cavities involves consistent home care and regular professional check-ups with Dr. Necolas. Brush twice daily for two minutes using fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary foods and drinks, and attend routine dental exams and cleanings at N/A. Dr. Necolas may also recommend dental sealants or in-office fluoride treatments, especially for children, to provide extra protection.

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

No referral is typically needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact N/A directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Necolas.

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

Yes, Dr. Necolas understands that dental anxiety is common. To help you relax, N/A offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Necolas during your consultation so they can determine the most suitable and safe sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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 only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Necolas will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
