At Dr. Roman and Associates, 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. Dalmao frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Dalmao to see patients who were troubled by noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity successfully achieve their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• When a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth, Dr. Dalmao and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Dalmao when they first notice their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, enabling them to once again enjoy actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern without hesitation.

The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, so that daily routines and pleasures like their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments become straightforward again.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Dalmao 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. Dalmao at Dr. Roman and Associates?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Dalmao and the team at Dr. Roman and Associates 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. Dalmao 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. Dalmao for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Dalmao 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 (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Dalmao's specific recommendation is key.

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

These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You are welcome to contact Dr. Roman and Associates directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Dalmao.
