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. Falcomer frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Falcomer about having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard is to attain their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own, Dr. Falcomer offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age at Dr. Falcomer's practice is consistently achieving the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Effectively addressing experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease with Dr. Falcomer's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly and social interactions.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Falcomer will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while patients with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Falcomer's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Falcomer 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. Falcomer at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Falcomer and the team at N/A 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. Falcomer will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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's crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

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

No, a referral is typically not needed to see a general dentist. You can contact N/A directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Falcomer.
