At Bronte Hill Dental Care, 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. Braich frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Braich understands that dealing with a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle and feeling their best.
• The journey from a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal to wellness often involves Dr. Braich's dedicated care. The milestone is a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, which opens the door back to activities such as feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession, involves working systematically towards their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. Dr. Braich expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
• When needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard, Dr. Braich and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options and a return to comfort and confidence.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Braich, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Braich is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Braich will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr. Braich's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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 by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Bronte Hill Dental Care.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Braich 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 treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). General Dentists also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists when more complex needs arise. Dr. Braich may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Braich at Bronte Hill Dental Care?

Your first visit with Dr. Braich will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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. Braich will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Bronte Hill Dental Care's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent, non-life-threatening dental issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess with moderate swelling, broken tooth causing sharp pain) outside of office hours, call our main office number at (905) 878-0606. Our voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr. Braich or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service in Milton.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (for new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, planning complex treatments). Dr. Braich determines the frequency based on your oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No, a referral is not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Bronte Hill Dental Care directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Braich.
