At N/A, 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. Nevin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Nevin to see patients who were troubled by their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed successfully achieve understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• Dr. Nevin expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, means they can happily and comfortably get back to no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly, involves working systematically towards the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. Dr. Nevin expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• At Dr. Nevin's clinic, addressing a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.

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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at N/A.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nevin at N/A?

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

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Nevin 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).

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Nevin 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). Follow Dr. Nevin's specific recommendation.
