• Dr. Zdravkovski expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• Are you struggling with their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider? Dr. Zdravkovski partners with patients to target having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort a much more achievable reality.
• Dr. Zdravkovski understands that dealing with needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth can be challenging.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Zdravkovski 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). Dr. Zdravkovski also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

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 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 check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage 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). Dr. Zdravkovski will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Zdravkovski will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some may need more frequent visits.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Zdravkovski at Smiles Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Zdravkovski will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments.
