• For individuals troubled by their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure, Dr. Nasri's approach is focused on delivering a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends with a healthier smile.
• For those affected by a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively, Dr. Nasri provides solutions that lead to understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Nasri with concerns about a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, making a positive and lasting return to enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nasri at Drs. Asadi, Lewis and Associates?

Your first visit with Dr. Nasri will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Nasri will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Drs. Asadi, Lewis and Associates.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Nasri 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. Follow Dr. Nasri'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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Nasri 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).
