Frequently Asked Questions

Many patients benefit from a dental exam and professional cleaning about every six months. Your recommended interval may be shorter or longer depending on oral health, gum condition, cavity risk and other individual factors.

Call our office as soon as possible at 1-416-486-1136. We will ask about what happened and advise you on the safest next step. For trouble breathing, uncontrolled bleeding or serious facial trauma, call 911 or go to an emergency department.

We work with most major dental insurance plans and can submit claims on your behalf. Coverage varies, and your insurer makes the final decision about reimbursement. Contact us with your plan information before your visit.

Invisalign uses a customized series of removable clear aligners to move teeth gradually. Treatment is planned from a clinical assessment and digital records. Suitability and treatment length depend on your teeth, bite and goals.

Digital dental X-rays use a low level of radiation and are prescribed when the expected diagnostic benefit is greater than the risk. We consider your history, symptoms and previous images before recommending them.

Implant fees depend on the number of teeth being replaced, bone and gum health, the type of restoration and whether additional procedures are required. A consultation allows us to review treatment fees specific to your needs.

Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes and seals the internal space. A restoration is often used afterward to protect the tooth. An examination determines whether this is the appropriate option.

We offer in-office and take-home professional whitening. The right option depends on the cause of discolouration, existing dental work and sensitivity. A dental assessment helps confirm that whitening is appropriate.

Call the office promptly, save any pieces you can and avoid chewing on the area. A dentist needs to assess the depth of the damage and check the tooth, gums and bite before recommending repair.

We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation when clinically appropriate. A dentist must review your health history, medications, anxiety and planned procedure before recommending a sedative option.
