At N/A, 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. Brunet frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Brunet's practice, a key objective is a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• Managing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Brunet and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Through Dr. Brunet's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional often find they can readily achieve their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
• With Dr. Brunet's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly is focused on achieving finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation without dental concerns.

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

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 always used. 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. Brunet 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. Brunet for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Brunet will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Brunet's specific recommendation.

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

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

Does N/A offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment at N/A.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Brunet at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Brunet and the team at N/A 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. Brunet will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Brunet is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
