At Spectrum Square Dentistry, 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. Rabie frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach is a primary concern, Dr. Rabie focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• At Dr. Rabie's clinic, addressing their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• Dr. Rabie expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, means they can happily and comfortably get back to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Rabie to see patients who were troubled by their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care successfully achieve gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.

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

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Rabie 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 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment at Spectrum Square Dentistry.

What is Spectrum Square Dentistry's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Rabie. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rabie at Spectrum Square Dentistry?

Dr. Rabie will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Yes, Dr. Rabie understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Spectrum Square Dentistry offers various sedation options, which may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation.

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