• Effectively addressing a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered with Dr. Gill's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort and social interactions.
• Dr. Gill provides dedicated support for patients going through their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure, always aiming for positive outcomes like their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.

This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health with a healthier smile.
• With Dr. Gill's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods is focused on achieving their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion without dental concerns.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Gill, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Gill 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. Gill 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 caries risk might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Gill's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact 247 King Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Gill.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Gill at 247 King Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Gill 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. Gill 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.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Gill 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).

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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at 247 King Dental.
