New Patients
To Our New Patients,
We understand that choosing a new dentist and
dental health team can be a challenge, leaving you feeling somewhat
uncertain. Let us welcome you and share some insights about what
we do for our patients. The philosophy guiding our practice is as
follows:
"Our purpose is to help people achieve the
highest level of well-being appropriate for them and, in so doing,
enhance the quality of their lives."
In other words, we help you be or become as healthy
as you choose. This is a major departure from the way we were trained.
Instead of telling you how healthy you ought to be, we will try
to help you understand your choices about dental health and then
let you make a free and informed decision. Your first choice in
this regard is how you would like to begin with us. There are five
levels on which people may choose to be seen in our practice.
Level 1 - URGENT CARE: People in crisis or with
an emergency problem such as pain, swelling or bleeding that need
our immediate help are at this level. We see urgencies immediately,
whenever possible.
Level 2 - REMEDIAL CARE: People who choose this
level of care desire treatment only when something breaks or becomes
uncomfortable. Generally people at this level expect a limited type
of examination, focusing on obvious problems. They usually want
to correct immediate problems with as little effort and cost as
possible.
Level 3 - SELF-CARE: Patients who choose this
level of care want a thorough examination and take an active part
in the treatment and prevention of present and future disease problems.
However, they usually choose repair solutions that are short range
in nature.
Level 4 - COMPLETE DENTISTRY: Patients at this
level are similar to people described in level 3. They choose to
have a thorough examination. However, they decide on a MASTER PLAN
to formulate a long-term treatment plan for health and repair. These
patients are very concerned about treating the causes of dental
disease, not simply the effects. These patients want all dental
treatment provided to be completed in the most lasting fashion possible.
Level 5 - LOOK YOUR BEST: People in this group
are in level 4 as far as dental health is concerned, but also want
to look their best at all times. They know that their smile is the
first thing others notice about them and want to put their best
foot forward.
We hope these levels of care make sense to you.
It is not uncommon for people to begin at one level and progress
to another over time. We are here to help you discover and decide
at what level you are most comfortable. Thank you for the opportunity
to serve you and provide you with the best dentistry appropriate
for you.
To YOUR health,

Payment Options
We structure our fees to reflect the current Ontario
Fee Guide. We will always provide you with a complete estimate before
we begin.
In addition, we're skilled in working with insurance
companies and are happy to help you work with yours to ensure that
you receive the maximum possible coverage for your particular treatments.
We also realize that most patients who have insurance
must understand that there maybe at times a balance after the insurance
has paid. This co-payment is a matter between the patient and their
respective employers. We have no control over the amount. The portion
that is not paid for by the insurance company is the responsibility
of the patient and is due at the time of the appointment. We will
however if arranged prior to the appointment work with individuals
to arrange financial terms that are both beneficial to the patient
and our office.
