At Bogdanovich 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. Bogdanovich frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple at Dr. Bogdanovich's welcoming dental clinic is achieving transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• Patients experiencing their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Bogdanovich's practice, a key objective is their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• Dr. Bogdanovich understands that dealing with their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, helping patients comfortably get back to their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments and feeling their best.
• If a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Bogdanovich develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bogdanovich 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Bogdanovich typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Bogdanovich 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 if offered). Dr. Bogdanovich also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bogdanovich at Bogdanovich Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Bogdanovich 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. Bogdanovich 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.

What payment options are available at Bogdanovich Dentistry for dental services?

For your convenience, Bogdanovich Dentistry accepts various payment methods, including cash, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, and sometimes American Express. We also work with many private dental insurance plans. Please discuss specific payment arrangements and insurance details with our administrative team prior to your treatment. Payment for services is generally expected at the time treatment is rendered.

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

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

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 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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at Bogdanovich Dentistry.

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

For most patients, preventative care check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. Dr. Bogdanovich 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). Follow Dr. Bogdanovich's specific recommendation.
