At Fallowfield Dental, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Issa frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Issa's practice, a key objective is a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Issa with concerns about a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, making a positive and lasting return to their child participating happily in school photos and social activities not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Dr. Issa's comprehensive care for a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces is meticulously designed to result in the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine without dental worries.
• Patients presenting with needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment under Dr. Issa's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity without the former limitations or discomfort.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Issa, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Issa is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Issa typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Issa is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Issa also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Issa at Fallowfield Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Issa and the team at Fallowfield Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Issa will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Issa for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Issa will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is important to follow Dr. Issa's specific recommendation.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). You should verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Fallowfield Dental.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Fallowfield Dental's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Fallowfield Dental’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (613) 440-9000. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr. Issa or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Nepean area.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Issa?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Fallowfield Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Issa.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used during the procedure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Issa will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
