At Coxwell Dental Health Centre, 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. Deemar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed, involves working systematically towards having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. Dr. Deemar expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
• Dr. Deemar's comprehensive care for a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially is meticulously designed to result in their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their child participating happily in school photos and social activities without dental worries.
• For patients where a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food is a primary concern, Dr. Deemar focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Deemar with concerns about feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, making a positive and lasting return to getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Deemar at Coxwell Dental Health Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Deemar and the team at Coxwell Dental Health Centre 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. Deemar will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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

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

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Deemar 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).

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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families through Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Coxwell Dental Health Centre.
