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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Kupatadze will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's crucial to follow Dr. Kupatadze's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kupatadze at Mountainview Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Kupatadze and the team at Mountainview Dental 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. Kupatadze will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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 by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting 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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kupatadze 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).

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

Yes, Dr. Kupatadze understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Mountainview Dental offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Kupatadze during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
