At White Willow Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, 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. Vaddey frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite at Dr. Vaddey's practice is consistently achieving a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• A key objective when treating the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding at Dr. Vaddey's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Vaddey with concerns about a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, making a positive and lasting return to their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet not just possible, but highly feasible.
• For individuals troubled by experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth, Dr. Vaddey's approach is focused on delivering their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact White Willow Family and Cosmetic Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Vaddey.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Vaddey at White Willow Family and Cosmetic Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Vaddey 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. Vaddey 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 White Willow Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Vaddey 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Vaddey 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Vaddey's specific recommendations.
