At Bond Street 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. Ahmed frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Ahmed develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.
• Dr. Ahmed's comprehensive care for the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding is meticulously designed to result in their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth without dental worries.
• A key objective when treating their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening at Dr. Ahmed's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard, involves working systematically towards a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. Dr. Ahmed expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Ahmed, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Ahmed 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. Ahmed typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Ahmed 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, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Ahmed also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Bond Street Dental.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ahmed at Bond Street Dental?

At your first visit, Dr. Ahmed and the team will focus on understanding your oral health. You'll complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Ahmed will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatment.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Ahmed will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (for cavities or gum disease), and any existing dental conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Ahmed's specific recommendations.

What is Bond Street Dental's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur. However, we request at least 24 business hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed entirely, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75. We appreciate your cooperation.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr. Ahmed will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Does Bond Street Dental offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

Yes, for your convenience, Bond Street Dental offers direct billing (assignment of benefits) to most major dental insurance companies. We can submit your claim electronically at the time of your appointment. You'll be responsible for any co-payment, deductible, or uncovered portion. Please bring your insurance information to your appointment.

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