At Huron Dentistry, 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. Gill frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Gill when they first notice their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, enabling them to once again enjoy no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out without hesitation.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Gill about a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal is to attain their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth.
• Patients presenting with experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health under Dr. Gill's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem without the former limitations or discomfort.
• When recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life, Dr. Gill and the team work collaboratively with patients.

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 your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Huron Dentistry.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Huron Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Gill.

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

Yes, Dr. Gill understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Huron Dentistry may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Gill during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Gill is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Gill will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). Follow Dr. Gill's specific recommendation.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Gill 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. Gill at Huron Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Gill 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. Gill 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.
