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

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

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Dove Dental Centre.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Rajie 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Rajie may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Rajie will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Rajie's specific recommendation.

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. Rajie 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rajie at Dove Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Rajie and the team at Dove Dental Centre 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. Rajie will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Yes, Dr. Rajie understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Dove Dental Centre offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Rajie during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
