• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems, Dr. Lenyk offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.

This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• Dr. Lenyk provides dedicated support for patients going through a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, always aiming for positive outcomes like the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Lenyk.

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 used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Lenyk 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).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Lenyk offer any sedation options?

Dr. Lenyk and our team at N/A are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr. Lenyk. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

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

In ON, 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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment at N/A.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Lenyk and the team at N/A will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Lenyk will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Lenyk is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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 (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. Lenyk can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Lenyk can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care is recommended for most patients. Dr. Lenyk will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Lenyk's specific recommendation.
