At Bartley's Square Dental Office, 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. Keran frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Keran expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Keran when they first notice a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral, enabling them to once again enjoy their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post without hesitation.
• Many people seek Dr. Keran's professional help and expertise when dealing with their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.

This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Keran will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Keran's specific recommendations.

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 done in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Keran is your primary dental care provider. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and possibly cosmetic procedures (like whitening). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for complex cases.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Keran at Bartley's Square Dental Office?

At your first visit, Dr. Keran and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Keran will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr. Keran will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

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

No, a referral isn't needed to see a general dentist. You can contact Bartley's Square Dental Office directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Keran.
