What are dental implants, and how do I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. Hasheminia can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Hasheminia can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Hasheminia will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Hasheminia's specific recommendation is crucial.

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. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

What is Maxilla Dental on Wheels'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. Hasheminia. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50-$100. Specific fee information is available from the clinic.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hasheminia provides primary dental care, 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 may offer cosmetic procedures. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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

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

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). Dr. Hasheminia determines the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hasheminia at Maxilla Dental on Wheels?
