At N/A, 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. Teijeiro frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Teijeiro and the dental team. The clear aim is always an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• When needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Teijeiro helps patients strive for their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This makes participating in activities such as actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Dr. Teijeiro's comprehensive care for a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection is meticulously designed to result in their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities without dental worries.
• For those affected by an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching, Dr. Teijeiro provides solutions that lead to their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.

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

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Teijeiro 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 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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Teijeiro will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Teijeiro's specific recommendation.

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

They educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Teijeiro may also offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.

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