At Your Dental Office, 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. Humeres frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Humeres when they first notice a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness, enabling them to once again enjoy smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness without hesitation.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed at Dr. Humeres's practice is consistently achieving clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• Dr. Humeres often consults with patients whose their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing significantly limits their enjoyment of their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Understanding the frustration a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces can cause, Dr. Humeres tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, allowing for renewed participation in activities like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.

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

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. Humeres 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. Humeres at Your Dental Office?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Humeres and the team at Your Dental Office 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. Humeres 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. Humeres for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Humeres will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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). Following Dr. Humeres's specific recommendation is crucial.

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). 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. Humeres?

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. Contact Your Dental Office directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Humeres.
