At Dentistry at FCP, 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. Aronson frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Aronson helps patients strive for their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration. This makes participating in activities such as being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Through Dr. Aronson's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention often find they can readily achieve their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..
• Dr. Aronson understands that dealing with needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, helping patients comfortably get back to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile and feeling their best.
• When patients discuss waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding, Dr. Aronson outlines a path to their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.

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

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Aronson for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Dentistry at FCP.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Aronson at Dentistry at FCP?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Aronson and the team at Dentistry at FCP will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Aronson will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Aronson will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits 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. Following Dr. Aronson's specific recommendation is key.

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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Common signs of gum disease include gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing, redness or puffiness of the gums, gum soreness, persistent bad taste or bad breath. More advanced gum disease may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular check-ups with Dr. Aronson are crucial for early detection and treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Aronson provides primary dental care, offering a wide range of services. These include 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 (like whitening or bonding). They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed for more complex cases.

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 necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Aronson determines the frequency based on your individual needs and history, following guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Aronson help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Aronson can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings, they may offer conservative management advice or provide a referral to a specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.
