• Dr. Stasko expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably.

• Dr. Stasko understands that dealing with a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, helping patients comfortably get back to their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance and feeling their best.
• For individuals troubled by a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long, Dr. Stasko's approach is focused on delivering gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun with a healthier smile.
• When their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking, Dr. Stasko and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Stasko identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Stasko 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. Stasko at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Stasko 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. Stasko 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. Stasko for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Stasko will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). Always follow Dr. Stasko's specific recommendation.

Can persistent bad breath or bleeding gums be a sign I need to see a Periodontist like Dr. Stasko?

Yes, persistent bad breath or bleeding gums can be signs of gum disease (periodontitis). While a general dentist often provides initial treatment, a Periodontist like Dr. Stasko specializes in diagnosing and treating more advanced or complex cases of gum disease, including surgical and non-surgical therapies to control infection and restore gum health. A referral from a general dentist is common.

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

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

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
