At Kemet Dental Clinic, 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. Mikhail frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr. Mikhail's clinic, addressing wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• For patients where a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods is a primary concern, Dr. Mikhail focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day.
• Dr. Mikhail provides dedicated support for patients going through having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard, always aiming for positive outcomes like clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• The journey from waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding to wellness often involves Dr. Mikhail's dedicated care. The milestone is their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mikhail at Kemet Dental Clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Mikhail will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination.

Dr. Mikhail will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Mikhail 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 if offered).

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Mikhail for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Kemet Dental Clinic.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Mikhail 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 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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Mikhail will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Mikhail's specific recommendation.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Mikhail offer any sedation options?

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