At Pearlee Family 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. Al-Glao frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems at Dr. Al-Glao's practice is consistently achieving gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.
• For those affected by an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected, Dr. Al-Glao provides solutions that lead to experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Al-Glao about noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer is to attain their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• When the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits, Dr. Al-Glao and the team work collaboratively with patients.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Al-Glao will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits 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. It is crucial to follow Dr. Al-Glao's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Al-Glao 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).

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 specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket 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). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Al-Glao at Pearlee Family Dental?

At your first appointment, expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Al-Glao will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Al-Glao?

No, a referral is not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact Pearlee Family Dental directly to book your visit with Dr. Al-Glao.
