At Glen Abbey Dental Office, 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. Warsi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Warsi understands that dealing with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, helping patients comfortably get back to no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues and feeling their best.
• When patients discuss wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant, Dr. Warsi outlines a path to their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.

This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.

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

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

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Warsi 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).

Yes, Dr. Warsi understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Glen Abbey Dental Office may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Warsi during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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 Glen Abbey Dental Office’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 (905) 847-3400.

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

In ON, 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. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Always check your insurance details before treatment.

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Warsi will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs and risk factors.
