At Smile City 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. Tejani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes, Dr. Tejani and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Managing noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Tejani and the dental team. The clear aim is always experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Patients presenting with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction under Dr. Tejani's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Through Dr. Tejani's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain often find they can readily achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..

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

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. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Smile City Dental.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Tejani will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Tejani's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Tejani is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer 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 may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Tejani help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Tejani can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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. Tejani 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).

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Tejani at Smile City Dental?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Tejani will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
