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 Fenworth Dental.

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. Kolta 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. Kolta?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Fenworth Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kolta.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Kolta offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Kolta understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Fenworth Dental may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Kolta during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
