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. Sieber frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear, Dr. Sieber outlines a path to being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• For individuals troubled by a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation, Dr. Sieber's approach is focused on delivering an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought with a healthier smile.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed is a common journey for patients under Dr. Sieber's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty become straightforward again.
• Patients experiencing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Sieber's practice, a key objective is their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings.

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

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

Your first visit with Dr. Sieber 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. Sieber 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. Sieber?

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

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at N/A.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sieber 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 are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Sieber are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr. Sieber may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

What is N/A's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

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. Sieber. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without any notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us manage our schedule efficiently.

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

Generally, we recommend every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Sieber will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). Please follow Dr. Sieber's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Sieber 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.
