At YEG Dentistry, 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. Janjos frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Janjos's practice, a key objective is their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.
• If a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain is preventing you from fully enjoying being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues or causing discomfort, Dr. Janjos offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• When persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Janjos helps patients strive for the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation. This makes participating in activities such as their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Dr. Janjos's comprehensive care for a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing is meticulously designed to result in their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking without dental worries.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Janjos is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. Dr. Janjos also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Janjos at YEG Dentistry?

At your first visit, you will complete a medical history form and discuss your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Janjos. A thorough examination of your mouth will follow, including digital X-rays if necessary. Dr. Janjos will then explain their findings and recommend any needed treatments. This is also an opportunity to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every six months. However, Dr. Janjos will personalize this schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have longer intervals. Following Dr. Janjos's specific recommendations is essential.

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

No, a referral is not needed to see a general dentist like Dr. Janjos. You can book an appointment directly with YEG Dentistry.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention involves consistent home care and regular professional visits. This includes brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and attending regular check-ups and cleanings. Dr. Janjos may also recommend dental sealants or fluoride applications.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Modern digital X-rays are very safe, using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, or to plan treatments). Dr. Janjos will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.
