At Bayview Dental 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. Vukas frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain has unfortunately put simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Vukas works closely with patients towards attaining the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods is a common journey for patients under Dr. Vukas's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, so that daily routines and pleasures like replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile become straightforward again.
• For individuals troubled by a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients, Dr. Vukas's approach is focused on delivering their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection with a healthier smile.
• If their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Vukas develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth.

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Vukas 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Yes, Dr. Vukas understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Bayview Dental Centre offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Vukas during your consultation so that the most appropriate and safest sedation approach can be determined for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Vukas will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Following Dr. Vukas's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Vukas is the primary dental care provider, 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 may offer cosmetic procedures. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Vukas may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
