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. Zamon frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

  • When patients discuss a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about, Dr. Zamon outlines a path to their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
  • Patients experiencing concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Zamon's practice, a key objective is their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
  • The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected, involves working systematically towards their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach. Dr. Zamon expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.
  • For patients where their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider is a primary concern, Dr. Zamon focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Zamon at N/A?
Your first visit with Dr. Zamon 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. Zamon 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.
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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at N/A.
How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Zamon for a check-up and cleaning?
For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Zamon will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Zamon's specific recommendations.
What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Zamon typically provide?
A General Dentist like Dr. Zamon provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 (if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Zamon may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Zamon determines the frequency based on your individual needs and adheres to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Zamon?
No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Zamon for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.
I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Zamon offer any sedation options?
Yes, Dr. Zamon understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, N/A may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Zamon during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
