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

• Managing feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Paris and the dental team. The clear aim is always their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For individuals troubled by their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort, Dr. Paris's approach is focused on delivering their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort with a healthier smile.
• Dr. Paris understands that dealing with experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, helping patients comfortably get back to their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them and feeling their best.
• Patients presenting with an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved under Dr. Paris's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

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 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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Paris Dentistry.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Paris determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Paris will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Paris's specific recommendation.

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

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Paris will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
