At N/A, 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. Topouzov frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances, Dr. Topouzov and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Dr. Topouzov provides dedicated support for patients going through a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite, always aiming for positive outcomes like transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.
• Effectively addressing their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach with Dr. Topouzov's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings and social interactions.
• For those affected by feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals, Dr. Topouzov provides solutions that lead to the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Topouzov 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 crucial to follow Dr. Topouzov'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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Topouzov 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 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). It is important 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 N/A.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Topouzov 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. Topouzov will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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. Topouzov.
