At MC Dental, 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. Hajar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow at Dr. Hajar's practice is consistently achieving a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• The journey from looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults to wellness often involves Dr. Hajar's dedicated care. The milestone is feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation, which opens the door back to activities such as no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Dr. Hajar understands that dealing with an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, helping patients comfortably get back to confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity and feeling their best.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Hajar with concerns about experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite.

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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Examples of such programs include Healthy Smiles Ontario. It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at MC Dental.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hajar at MC Dental?

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

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

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

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

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

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. Hajar 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).
