At Aurora Dental Health, 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. Weaver frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably at Dr. Weaver's practice is consistently achieving a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues.
• A key objective when treating their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to at Dr. Weaver's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• If an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Weaver develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• If waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding is preventing you from fully enjoying confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions or causing discomfort, Dr. Weaver offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism) through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

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

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Weaver 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Weaver at Aurora Dental Health?

Your first visit with Dr. Weaver will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Weaver will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Aurora Dental Health.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Weaver will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Weaver's specific recommendation is crucial.
