At Bridge Street Family 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. Quadros frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- The primary focus for patients seeking help for concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history at Dr. Quadros's practice is consistently achieving their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
- The journey from a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment to wellness often involves Dr. Quadros's dedicated care. The milestone is achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, which opens the door back to activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
- Through Dr. Quadros's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident often find they can readily achieve their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
- Managing feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Quadros and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Quadros for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Quadros will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients 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. It's crucial to follow Dr. Quadros's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.
- 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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Quadros 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. Quadros at Bridge Street Family Dentistry?
- Your first visit with Dr. Quadros 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. Quadros 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.
- 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). It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Quadros?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Quadros for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Bridge Street Family Dentistry.
