At N/A, 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. Staibano frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite has unfortunately put feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Staibano works closely with patients towards attaining their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered, involves working systematically towards their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies. Dr. Staibano expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Staibano about their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is to attain their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.
• With Dr. Staibano's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect is focused on achieving feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily without dental concerns.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Staibano at N/A?

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

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (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, annual maximums) before treatment.

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

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

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Staibano determines the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Staibano will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease), while others may have longer intervals. Follow Dr. Staibano's specific recommendations.
