What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Vassandacoumara at Canaray Oral Radiology Mississauga?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Vassandacoumara and the team at Canaray Oral Radiology Mississauga 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. Vassandacoumara will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Canaray Oral Radiology Mississauga.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Vassandacoumara for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Canaray Oral Radiology Mississauga.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Vassandacoumara 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Vassandacoumara offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Vassandacoumara focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Vassandacoumara will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Vassandacoumara's specific recommendation.

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. Vassandacoumara 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).
