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

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

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 from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment at Maple Mews Dental Office.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Bolojan will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (for cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Bolojan's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bolojan at Maple Mews Dental Office?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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. Bolojan will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

No, a referral is typically not needed to see a general dentist. You can contact Maple Mews Dental Office directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bolojan.

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. Bolojan will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Maple Mews Dental Office accepts cash, debit, and major credit cards (Visa and MasterCard). If you have dental insurance, bring your policy information; the administrative team will assist with claims processing. For extensive treatment plans, financing options can be discussed.
