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. Baksa frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Baksa often consults with patients whose an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Effectively addressing a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively with Dr. Baksa's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures and social interactions.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Baksa when they first notice ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism, enabling them to once again enjoy singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun without hesitation.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching, Dr. Baksa offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.

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

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Baksa 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Baksa 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Baksa's specific recommendation.

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). It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at N/A.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Baksa 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. Baksa 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.
