Their FAQ

Answers from their website.

How often should I visit the dentist for a checkup and cleaning?

Most patients benefit from visiting the dentist every six months for routine exams and dental cleanings. Regular visits help detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns before they become more serious. Your dentist may recommend a different schedule depending on your oral health needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit?

During your first visit, our team will review your dental history and discuss any concerns you may have about your oral health. A comprehensive exam will be performed, and digital images or scans may be taken if needed. We will then explain our findings and discuss recommended treatments or preventive care options.

Do you offer emergency dental care?

Yes, Ottawa Dental Care provides emergency dental care for patients experiencing pain, swelling, broken teeth, or other urgent dental concerns. Prompt treatment helps relieve discomfort and prevents further complications. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, we encourage you to contact our clinic as soon as possible.

What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign is a clear aligner system designed to gradually move teeth into better alignment. The treatment uses a series of custom made, removable aligners that are worn for most of the day. Invisalign is a popular orthodontic option because it is discreet and allows patients to remove the aligners when eating or brushing.

What treatments are available if I have missing teeth?

Several treatment options may be available for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Each option has its own benefits depending on your oral health needs and goals. During a consultation, your dentist will discuss the most appropriate treatment to restore function and appearance.

Does Ottawa Dental Care accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

Yes, our clinic accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan for eligible patients. Coverage through the CDCP depends on your adjusted family net income and eligibility requirements. Our team can help answer questions about how the program works and how it may apply to your dental care.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Dental X-rays are an important diagnostic tool used to detect concerns that may not be visible during a regular exam. Digital X-ray technology uses very low levels of radiation and allows dentists to capture detailed images quickly and safely. These images help support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

What can I do to maintain good oral health at home?

Maintaining good oral health includes brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist regularly for exams and cleanings. A balanced diet and limiting sugary foods and drinks can also help protect your teeth and gums from decay and disease.
