At North River Dental, 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. Tremblay frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Tremblay often consults with patients whose their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• The journey from needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) to wellness often involves Dr. Tremblay's dedicated care. The milestone is their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, which opens the door back to activities such as simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.
• Effectively addressing needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect with Dr. Tremblay's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance and social interactions.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming, involves working systematically towards their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress. Dr. Tremblay expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.

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

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 North River Dental.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Tremblay 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Tremblay 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). Follow Dr. Tremblay's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact North River Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Tremblay.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Tremblay at North River Dental?

At your initial appointment, expect a medical history review, a discussion of your dental concerns, a detailed oral examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Tremblay will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
