Dentist - Brampton, Ontario

How do I get emergency dental care?

When you’re in need of emergency dental treatment, start by calling our practice so you can speak with one of our team members. Keep in mind that if you believe that your emergency is life-threatening (such as an oral infection that’s interfering with breathing), call 911 immediately. While hospitals are best equipped to handle life-threatening issues, they are not usually equipped to handle dental emergencies. That means you’ll still need to visit our office in order to get the proper treatment. At Salvaggio Dentistry, we do everything possible to see you the same day. Not only are we open early and late most days, but we’re also open on Saturday. Don’t wait to call as chances are if you’re dealing with a dental emergency, there’s a larger underlying problem present.

What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?

Prevention is key within dentistry, which is why routine treatments like dental exams and teeth cleanings often offer a higher value if you complete them every six months, rather than when you think you need them. With dental insurance, you can make your dental care affordable and predictable. However, those who do not have dental insurance should consider talking to their healthcare provider to see if they are eligible for Medicaid or Medicare dental benefits. Salvaggio Dentistry is happy to participate in a Free Dentistry Day once a year to help those living in Brampton and beyond complete their necessary treatments. We work hard to make our dental fees affordable for families and individuals alike.

How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?

If you want to increase your chances of getting seen the same day, you’re going to want to call us directly. While it can be more convenient to send an email, you won’t get an answer as quickly as you’d like in most cases. Furthermore, calling us gives you an opportunity to learn more about your situation before you arrive. To accommodate same-day emergency appointments, we’re happy to always have an operatory open and available so you can get seen more efficiently. During a same-day visit, we always take the time to assess your condition, remove any and all discomfort, and eventually finalize a plan for any additional treatments. In some cases, we can even perform a tooth extraction or root canal therapy the same day depending on your condition.

How do I find the best place to get dental work done?

There’s nothing more important than first determining what dental service it is you are looking for. When you know what’s most important to you, choosing a dentist becomes much easier. For example, it could mean finding a dentist that accepts dental insurance, offers reasonable dental fees, is close to your home or workplace, or provides the best professional credentials possible. It’s also worth noting if their office hours as well as their safety and cleanliness measures meet your standards. When researching, ask yourself if they provide the dental treatments you want and whether they can prove their ability to provide these services (particularly cosmetic dentistry services.) It also helps to review the practice’s online reviews, doctor and staff bios, and photos of patients who have received treatments.
