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. Klimitz frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development, involves working systematically towards their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment. Dr. Klimitz expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• For patients where a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively is a primary concern, Dr. Klimitz focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Klimitz about the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding is to attain the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• Understanding the frustration a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable can cause, Dr. Klimitz tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), allowing for renewed participation in activities like their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Klimitz, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Klimitz is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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). Examples of such programs include Healthy Smiles Ontario. It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at N/A.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Klimitz.

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. Klimitz 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. Klimitz at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Klimitz 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. Klimitz 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.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Klimitz 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). Following Dr. Klimitz's specific recommendation is important.

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

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