At Bloor West Dental Group, 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. Cobb frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Cobb expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, means they can happily and comfortably get back to actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• The journey from experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits to wellness often involves Dr. Cobb's dedicated care. The milestone is feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, which opens the door back to activities such as their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• Understanding the frustration a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture can cause, Dr. Cobb tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, allowing for renewed participation in activities like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Are you struggling with feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning?

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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Bloor West Dental Group.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Cobb determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Bloor West Dental Group directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Cobb.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Cobb at Bloor West Dental Group?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Cobb will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Cobb will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits might be needed for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Cobb's specific recommendation.
