At Continuum Dental Center, 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. Sansoa frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Sansoa to see patients who were troubled by wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth successfully achieve receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.
• Dr. Sansoa's comprehensive care for a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile is meticulously designed to result in their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances without dental worries.
• Dr. Sansoa often consults with patients whose an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear significantly limits their enjoyment of being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Dr. Sansoa understands that dealing with a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing and feeling their best.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sansoa at Continuum Dental Center?

Your first visit with Dr. Sansoa 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. Sansoa 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.

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

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Sansoa will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Sansoa's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 also used. 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. Sansoa 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. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Continuum Dental Center.
