Achieving Your Oral Health & Smile Goals with Dr. Goldberg
At Queen Street Dental Centre, 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. Goldberg frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Goldberg to see patients who were troubled by their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort successfully achieve the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
- When patients discuss experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple, Dr. Goldberg outlines a path to a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings.
- When their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Goldberg helps patients strive for their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This makes participating in activities such as their child participating happily in school photos and social activities a pleasant and possible experience again.
- Dr. Goldberg provides dedicated support for patients going through their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession, always aiming for positive outcomes like an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Goldberg, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Goldberg is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Goldberg typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Goldberg 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). Dr. Goldberg also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.
- 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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Goldberg 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).

Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Goldberg for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Goldberg 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). It's important to follow Dr. Goldberg's specific recommendation.
- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In ON, provincial health plans (like OHIP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Check your private dental insurance coverage and consider any government assistance programs you may be eligible for before treatment.
