Dr. Marshall Mark Freilich

Dr. Marshall Mark Freilich provides expert care for a wide range of dental and oral health conditions for patients of all ages, including but not limited to:

Gum Disease Initial

• Mild to Moderate Periodontitis (Initial Management by GP): Initial therapy for periodontitis, including professional cleaning and strategies to control bacterial infection below the gumline.
• Gingivitis (Early Gum Disease): Managing bleeding, swollen, or tender gums through hygiene therapy and patient education.

Orthodontic Assessment Needs

• Concerns about Crooked, Crowded, Gapped, or Protruding Teeth: Addressing issues of tooth malposition, such as crowding that makes cleaning difficult, or spacing that affects appearance, for a healthier and more attractive smile.
• Bite Problems (Overbite, Underbite, Crossbite, Open Bite, Deep Bite): Experiencing functional or aesthetic issues with how upper and lower teeth meet (malocclusion), affecting chewing efficiency, speech, appearance, or potentially contributing to jaw joint discomfort or tooth wear.

Complex Dental Diagnosis Needs

• Need for Detailed 3D Imaging for Diagnosis or Treatment Planning (CBCT): Dental situations where standard 2D X-rays (bitewings, panoramic) are insufficient and a 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan is required for accurate diagnosis, assessment of anatomical complexities, or detailed planning of complex treatments like implants, orthodontics, or endodontics.

This list offers some examples of conditions commonly addressed. A comprehensive diagnosis is always based on an individual assessment by Dr. Freilich. If your specific oral health concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic to discuss your needs and appropriate treatment options.

• Comprehensive Dental Examinations: Thorough oral health evaluations, including a detailed check of teeth, gums, soft tissues, jaw alignment, and screening for oral cancer.
• Fluoride Treatments: Strengthening tooth surfaces with fluoride to make them more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria.
• Tooth-Coloured Fillings (Composite Resin): Metal-free white fillings to restore tooth structure, function, and maintain a natural, healthy-looking smile.
• Simple Tooth Extractions (Non-Surgical): Standard tooth removal procedures for non-impacted teeth that do not require complex surgical intervention.
• Restoration of Dental Implants (Custom Crowns, Bridges, Dentures): Finalizing implant treatment with highly aesthetic and functional prosthetic restorations that look, feel, and perform like natural teeth.

Note: This list highlights some of the key services offered by Dr. Freilich. Not all services may be listed, and the suitability of any treatment depends on individual assessment. For a comprehensive understanding or to discuss your specific dental needs, please schedule a consultation.

At N/A, 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. Freilich frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease? Dr. Freilich partners with patients to target having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain a much more achievable reality.
• When wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth, Dr. Freilich and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants and a return to comfort and confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal, involves working systematically towards their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause. Dr. Freilich expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• For patients where concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly is a primary concern, Dr. Freilich focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Freilich, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Freilich is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Freilich 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).

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

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

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Freilich 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. Freilich will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What is N/A's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Freilich. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without any notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us manage our schedule efficiently.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Freilich.

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

Generally, we recommend every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Freilich will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Please follow Dr. Freilich's specific recommendation.

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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
