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

A General Dentist like Dr. Jivan is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. 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 any potential public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
