What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Weber at Richmond Hill Village Dental Office?

Your first visit with Dr. Weber 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. Weber 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.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Weber help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Weber can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Weber will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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. It is important to follow Dr. Weber's specific recommendations.

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

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

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Weber typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Weber is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 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 provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check the details of your private dental insurance before treatment.

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 necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Weber will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
