At The Tooth Corner Dental Offices, 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. Alderi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is a primary concern, Dr. Alderi focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• Many people seek Dr. Alderi's professional help and expertise when dealing with concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Patients experiencing a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Alderi's practice, a key objective is their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), which directly supports their ability to fully engage in easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening is a common journey for patients under Dr. Alderi's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath become straightforward again.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Alderi at The Tooth Corner Dental Offices?

Your first visit with Dr. Alderi 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. Alderi 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.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Alderi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or are at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It's crucial to follow Dr. Alderi's specific recommendations for 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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, 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). Programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario may offer assistance. It is essential to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at The Tooth Corner Dental Offices.

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

Yes, Dr. Alderi understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, The Tooth Corner Dental Offices offers various sedation options. These may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, depending on your specific needs and the planned procedure. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Alderi during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for you.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact The Tooth Corner Dental Offices directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Alderi.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Alderi 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 such as whitening or bonding. Dr. Alderi also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Alderi may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Alderi 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).
