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. Bolina frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation, Dr. Bolina provides solutions that lead to their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• Managing wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Bolina and the dental team. The clear aim is always receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Bolina with concerns about a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, making a positive and lasting return to knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

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

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

Your first visit with Dr. Bolina 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. Bolina 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.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are a very safe diagnostic tool, especially with modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Bolina will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Bolina will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Bolina's specific recommendations.
