• With Dr. Olivito's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals is focused on achieving their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health without dental concerns.
• Through Dr. Olivito's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable often find they can readily achieve their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.

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 - Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Olivito will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Olivito's specific recommendations.

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

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

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 treatments). Dr. Olivito will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Olivito is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 (if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Olivito may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Olivito offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Olivito understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. Dr. Mark Olivito's Dental Office may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Olivito during your consultation to determine the most appropriate and safest approach.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Olivito at Dr. Mark Olivito's Dental Office?

At your first appointment, expect a medical history review, discussion of dental issues/goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Olivito will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
