At Peel Village Dental, 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. Proniuk frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer is a common journey for patients under Dr. Proniuk's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem become straightforward again.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Proniuk about wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth is to attain their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• Patients presenting with a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence under Dr. Proniuk's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments without the former limitations or discomfort.
• With Dr. Proniuk's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly is focused on achieving their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath without dental concerns.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Proniuk will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need visits every 3-4 months, while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Proniuk'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 which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Proniuk 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).

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 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 provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Proniuk at Peel Village Dental?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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. Proniuk will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

No, a referral is not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact Peel Village Dental directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Proniuk.
