As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dr. Weiss is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At N/A, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Weiss to see patients who were troubled by a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection successfully achieve a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding, involves working systematically towards achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. Dr. Weiss expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• For those affected by wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances, Dr. Weiss provides solutions that lead to their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• Patients experiencing their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Weiss's practice, a key objective is receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.

Your specialized treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Weiss, will be meticulously designed to address your unique concerns and help you reach your specific objectives within their area of expertise.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Weiss for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Weiss 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 is crucial to follow Dr. Weiss's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Weiss at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Weiss 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. Weiss will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at N/A.

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 also 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. Weiss 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).
