At Myers Family Dentistry, 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. Kalsey frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Kalsey to see patients who were troubled by their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing successfully achieve their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• Are you struggling with a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming? Dr. Kalsey partners with patients to target their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues a much more achievable reality.
• Dr. Kalsey expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, means they can happily and comfortably get back to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• Dr. Kalsey often consults with patients whose a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain significantly limits their enjoyment of enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Kalsey, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Kalsey is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

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

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kalsey will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following 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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kalsey at Myers Family Dentistry?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination: 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 needed X-rays. Dr. Kalsey will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be done during this or a following visit.

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

No, you don't need a referral to see a general dentist for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Myers Family Dentistry.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kalsey provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Kalsey may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Kalsey offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Kalsey understands dental anxiety. Myers Family Dentistry offers various sedation options to help you relax. These may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, depending on your needs and the procedure. Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Kalsey during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach.
