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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Reynolds 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).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Reynolds will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., managing active gum disease or high caries risk), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Reynolds's specific recommendation is key.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Reynolds identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Reynolds at Prosthodontics on Avenue?

Your first visit with Dr. Reynolds 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. Reynolds will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

My dentures are loose and uncomfortable. Can a Prosthodontist like Dr. Reynolds help improve their fit and function?

Yes, a Prosthodontist like Dr. Reynolds specializes in creating and fitting dentures. Dr. Reynolds can assess your existing dentures for relines or adjustments, or design new, better-fitting conventional dentures. They can also explore options like implant-supported dentures for significantly improved stability and comfort.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Prosthodontics on Avenue directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Reynolds.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Prosthodontics on Avenue's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent, non-life-threatening dental issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess with moderate swelling, broken tooth causing sharp pain), call Prosthodontics on Avenue at (416) 489-2551.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs (e.g., Healthy Smiles Ontario). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
