At Signature Smiles Dental Studio, 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. Jeelani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially with Dr. Jeelani's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth and social interactions.
• If their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Jeelani develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• Are you struggling with concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches? Dr. Jeelani partners with patients to target their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions a much more achievable reality.
• Overcoming or effectively managing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow is a common journey for patients under Dr. Jeelani's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, so that daily routines and pleasures like their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them become straightforward again.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jeelani at Signature Smiles Dental Studio?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Jeelani and the team at Signature Smiles Dental Studio will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Jeelani will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using 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, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Jeelani will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Jeelani will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Jeelani's specific recommendations.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Jeelani for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Signature Smiles Dental Studio.

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