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. Freeman frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Freeman understands that dealing with a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry, helping patients comfortably get back to confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities and feeling their best.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Freeman to see patients who were troubled by a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation successfully achieve their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• A key objective when treating an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention at Dr. Freeman's welcoming dental clinic is achieving being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• If their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is preventing you from fully enjoying their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them or causing discomfort, Dr. Freeman offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Freeman, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall wellness objectives. Dr. Freeman is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

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. Freeman.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Freeman 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). Dr. Freeman also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Freeman 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr. Freeman will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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 important to follow Dr. Freeman's specific recommendation.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
