Something I hear all too often working in dental is, "Oh, I'll just wait till it bothers me", or "I don't feel anything so I can't possibly have a cavity!" This could not be further from the truth. You do not always feel pain or sensitivity when a cavity is just starting. Once you feel pain it may be too late for just a filling. We never want you to experience pain and suffering and we will be able to do that through regular cleanings and checkups. It's cheaper to do a small filling than to do a root canal or completely lose your teeth.

When it comes to your medical history, tell your dentist everything!
Do not keep anything hidden, the more we know the better we can treat you. We use medications and medical supplies that may react with your medication or any recreational drugs. We need to know about any pre-existing conditions as we may need medical clearance for your family doctor. Everything about your health is important to us. From a knee replacement six years ago to the high blood pressure you were told about yesterday. We do not judge and are just concerned about you and your best health care.

TIPS FOR KNOWING YOUR DENTAL INSURANCE

With more than 30,000 different dental benefit plans in Ontario, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Here are a few key points:
>Your benefits provider and/or employer can show you what your plan covers and what it doesn’t.
>You are responsible for arranging payment to your dentist. Some office like ours does direct billing. It is up to you to know if your insurance provider accepts direct billing. A co-payment may be required from your insurance company which is 20-50% of your bill. This amount will not be reimbursed by your provider.
>Treatment options are determined by your needs, not your benefits coverage.
Speak to your dentist about costs and plan coverage; don’t be shy!

If you are not a candidate for clear aligners we do offer traditional braces. Which are ideal for young kids and teens or if you and the dentist agree it's the best option. We offer a wide variety of colours for your rubber bands. Just because you have to have braces doesn't mean you can do it in style.
