At DentalVille, 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. Nafie frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Nafie develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile.

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Nafie about waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding is to attain their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.
• If feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time has unfortunately put confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Nafie works closely with patients towards attaining their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.

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. Dr. Nafie 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. Nafie at DentalVille?

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

What payment options are available at DentalVille for dental services?

At DentalVille, we accept payment by cash, debit, and major credit cards (typically Visa and MasterCard). If you have dental insurance, please bring your policy information, and our administrative team will be happy to assist you with understanding your coverage and processing claims. For more extensive treatment plans, potential financing options can be discussed with our office manager.

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