Impacted Teeth Assessment

At Zajac 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. Zajac frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development, Dr. Zajac outlines a path to their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• The journey from a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider to wellness often involves Dr. Zajac's dedicated care. The milestone is their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, which opens the door back to activities such as their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.
• Dr. Zajac understands that dealing with ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, helping patients comfortably get back to their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain and feeling their best.
• Patients experiencing wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Zajac's practice, a key objective is their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Zajac 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. Zajac at Zajac Dental?

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

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Zajac for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Zajac 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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket 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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Zajac provides primary dental care for all ages, offering 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 may offer cosmetic procedures. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Zajac may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.
