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

A General Dentist like Dr. Orlovic is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include some cosmetic procedures (like teeth whitening or bonding). Dr. Orlovic also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check your private dental insurance coverage details and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Orlovic.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Orlovic 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. Orlovic will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums, pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you see these symptoms, contact Dr. Orlovic promptly.

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, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Orlovic will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
