At Riverside 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. Rose frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth, involves working systematically towards achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. Dr. Rose expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• Dr. Rose often consults with patients whose a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces significantly limits their enjoyment of their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• For patients where their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is a primary concern, Dr. Rose focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in 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). This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident is a common journey for patients under Dr. Rose's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed, so that daily routines and pleasures like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort become straightforward again.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Rose, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rose at Riverside Dental Office?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Rose and the team at Riverside 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. Rose will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Rose for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Riverside Dental Office.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Rose 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 at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Rose'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 through Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 Riverside Dental Office.

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 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. Rose 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).
