At Wilson Avenue Dental Office, 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. Bobila frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation, Dr. Bobila's approach is focused on delivering their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly with a healthier smile.
• Patients experiencing concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Bobila's practice, a key objective is their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• Patients presenting with their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth under Dr. Bobila's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Dr. Bobila's comprehensive care for looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults is meticulously designed to result in the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues without dental worries.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Bobila, 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 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 Wilson Avenue Dental Office.

Does Wilson Avenue Dental Office 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.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Bobila 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 may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Bobila's specific recommendations.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bobila will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Bobila provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and potentially cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bobila at Wilson Avenue Dental Office?

At your first visit, expect a medical history review, discussion of dental concerns/goals, a detailed oral examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Bobila will then explain their assessment and recommend treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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