At Alliance Dental Centre, 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. Hans frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence under Dr. Hans's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Hans when they first notice an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, enabling them to once again enjoy passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children without hesitation.
• If a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Hans develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention, Dr. Hans offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.

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

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Hans offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Hans understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Alliance Dental Centre may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Hans during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Hans 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 require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others may have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Hans's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Hans are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr. Hans may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hans at Alliance Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Hans and the team at Alliance Dental Centre 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. Hans will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hans 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Hans may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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. 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. Hans 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 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
