This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Dr. Anastasiadis often consults with patients whose experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease significantly limits their enjoyment of their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Anastasiadis 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).

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

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

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Anastasiadis 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. Anastasiadis 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. Anastasiadis typically provide?

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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