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. Reuben frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist) under Dr. Reuben's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain without the former limitations or discomfort.
• For those affected by a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them, Dr. Reuben provides solutions that lead to finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Effectively addressing a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long with Dr. Reuben's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath and social interactions.
• Patients experiencing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Reuben's practice, a key objective is a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Reuben is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Reuben also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and will refer patients 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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr. Reuben 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Reuben at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Reuben and the team at N/A will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Reuben will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Reuben will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Reuben's specific recommendations.

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 plans (often through employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
