At Stonebrook Dental, 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. Cornejo frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury, Dr. Cornejo's approach is focused on delivering their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain with a healthier smile.
• A key objective when treating a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close at Dr. Cornejo's welcoming dental clinic is achieving feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns is a common journey for patients under Dr. Cornejo's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking become straightforward again.
• Dr. Cornejo expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, means they can happily and comfortably get back to enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Cornejo will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Cornejo's specific recommendations.

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

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

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 eligibility for programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Cornejo 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, 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, if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Cornejo may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Cornejo offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Cornejo understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Stonebrook Dental offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Cornejo during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Cornejo will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Cornejo at Stonebrook Dental?

At your initial appointment, you will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and have a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Cornejo will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
