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. Kranc frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr. Kranc's clinic, addressing a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• The journey from needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional to wellness often involves Dr. Kranc's dedicated care. The milestone is their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach, which opens the door back to activities such as feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• A key objective when treating a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable at Dr. Kranc's welcoming dental clinic is achieving gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Dr. Kranc's comprehensive care for a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is meticulously designed to result in being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence without dental worries.

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

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kranc is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for all ages. This includes preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and potentially some cosmetic procedures (like teeth whitening or bonding). Dr. Kranc also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and will refer you to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact N/A directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kranc.

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

Your first visit will include a comprehensive exam: 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. Kranc will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be part of this first visit or scheduled soon after.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Kranc will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, OHIP typically does NOT cover most routine or major dental work done in private clinics. Some limited hospital-based dental surgeries may be covered. Most dental costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (like children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public programs (like Healthy Smiles Ontario) and your private insurance details before treatment.
