At Toothworks Brookfield Place Dental, 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. Brown frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure at Dr. Brown's welcoming dental clinic is achieving having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• When concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Brown helps patients strive for experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. This makes participating in activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post a pleasant and possible experience again.
• When patients discuss persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene, Dr. Brown outlines a path to their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Brown when they first notice their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, enabling them to once again enjoy participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Brown, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

Yes, Dr. Brown understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Toothworks Brookfield Place Dental may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Brown during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Brown at Toothworks Brookfield Place Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Brown 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. Brown 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.

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 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. Brown 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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Brown 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 may have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Brown's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Brown 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
