At Keswick Dental Studio, 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. Alomar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively to wellness often involves Dr. Alomar's dedicated care. The milestone is their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Alomar to see patients who were troubled by their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) successfully achieve their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• Dr. Alomar's comprehensive care for experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth is meticulously designed to result in a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments without dental worries.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling, involves working systematically towards transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. Dr. Alomar expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.

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

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. Alomar.

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 during the procedure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Alomar 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Alomar typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Alomar is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Alomar at Keswick Dental Studio?

Your first visit with Dr. Alomar 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. Alomar 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. Alomar?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Keswick Dental Studio directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Alomar.

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

In ON, 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, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Alomar will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Following Dr. Alomar's specific recommendation is important.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Alomar offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Alomar focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.
