As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dr. Marc Edward Yarascavitch addresses specific and often complex oral health conditions such as:
Crowding Spacing Teeth
- Crowded, Overlapped, or Excessively Spaced Teeth: Teeth that are too close together, rotated, or overlapping, making them difficult to clean and potentially affecting aesthetics and gum health. Or, teeth that have noticeable gaps or spacing between them.
Complex Dental Diagnosis Needs
- Need for Detailed 3D Imaging for Diagnosis or Treatment Planning (CBCT): Complex dental cases that significantly benefit from the superior diagnostic information and precise measurements provided by CBCT scans for optimal treatment outcomes.
Jaw Alignment Growth Concerns
- Jaw Growth Discrepancies & Skeletal Imbalances in Growing Patients: Concerns about the proportional growth and development of the upper and lower jaws in children or adolescents, potentially requiring interceptive orthodontic treatment (Phase I) with functional appliances or headgear to guide jaw growth, or future orthognathic (jaw) surgery in conjunction with orthodontics for severe skeletal imbalances.

At Algonquin Orthodontics, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:
- The journey from a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment to wellness often involves Dr. Yarascavitch's dedicated care.

The clear aim is always a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
- Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Yarascavitch when they first notice a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance without hesitation.
- The primary focus for patients seeking help for having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard at Dr. Yarascavitch's practice is consistently achieving receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth.

- Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?
- While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Yarascavitch identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Yarascavitch for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, check-ups every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Yarascavitch will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Yarascavitch's specific recommendations.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yarascavitch at Algonquin Orthodontics?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Yarascavitch and the team at Algonquin Orthodontics 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. Yarascavitch will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- How long does orthodontic treatment (e.g., braces, Invisalign®) usually take with Dr. Yarascavitch?
- Treatment time varies greatly depending on case complexity, patient age, appliance type, and patient compliance. Average treatment can range from 12-36 months. Dr. Yarascavitch will provide a personalized estimate after a comprehensive orthodontic assessment.
- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In ON, 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 or through private dental insurance plans. Check for potential public coverage eligibility and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.
- Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
- Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using 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. Yarascavitch will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Yarascavitch?
- Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Algonquin Orthodontics directly.
