What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yashchuk at Victoria Park Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Yashchuk and the team at Victoria Park Dental 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. Yashchuk 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. Yashchuk?

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

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. Yashchuk 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). Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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

Yes, Dr. Yashchuk understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Victoria Park Dental may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Yashchuk during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Yashchuk will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Yashchuk's specific recommendation.

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