• For those affected by noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer, Dr. Klitovchenko provides solutions that lead to their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again.

• For patients where a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients is a primary concern, Dr. Klitovchenko focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Klitovchenko at City Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Klitovchenko 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. Klitovchenko 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. Klitovchenko?

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Klitovchenko 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Klitovchenko's specific recommendation for 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 to minimize any potential exposure. 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. Klitovchenko 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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at City Dental.
