At Millenium 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. Zajac frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Zajac when they first notice an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing without hesitation.
• Dr. Zajac provides dedicated support for patients going through their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention, always aiming for positive outcomes like their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues.
• Understanding the frustration their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession can cause, Dr. Zajac tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Zajac about persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is to attain receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Zajac, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Zajac 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, patients managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while those with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Zajac's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Zajac is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. Dr. Zajac also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Zajac offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Zajac focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Zajac at Millenium Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Zajac 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. Zajac 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. 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 provided by employers). Government assistance programs may be available for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Zajac for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Millenium Dental.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Zajac will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
