At Lewis Clinic 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. Lewis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Lewis's comprehensive care for an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching is meticulously designed to result in experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems without dental worries.
• When a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Lewis helps patients strive for their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This makes participating in activities such as their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Managing an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Lewis and the dental team. The clear aim is always their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For those affected by an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention, Dr. Lewis provides solutions that lead to receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.

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

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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario provide coverage for children. It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Lewis Clinic Dentistry.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Lewis at Lewis Clinic Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Lewis and the team at Lewis Clinic Dentistry 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. Lewis will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Lewis 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr. Lewis's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Lewis Clinic Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Lewis.

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. Lewis 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).
