At White Oaks Family 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. Paramio frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- Managing recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Paramio and the dental team. The clear aim is always the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
- For individuals troubled by their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening, Dr. Paramio's approach is focused on delivering their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions with a healthier smile.
- When patients discuss their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral), Dr. Paramio outlines a path to transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
- If an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Paramio develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Paramio, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

- 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. Paramio 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. Paramio at White Oaks Family Dental Care?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Paramio and the team at White Oaks Family Dental Care 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. Paramio 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. Paramio for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Paramio will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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) while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Paramio'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. Some specific, 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 through employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Always verify your coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Paramio?
- No, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact White Oaks Family Dental Care directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Paramio.
