At Trilliant 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. Harraq frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions, Dr. Harraq and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again and a return to comfort and confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite, involves working systematically towards experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. Dr. Harraq expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.
• Through Dr. Harraq's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect often find they can readily achieve their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Patients experiencing experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Harraq's practice, a key objective is a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Harraq, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Harraq is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Trilliant Dentistry.

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

Yes, Dr. Harraq understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Trilliant Dentistry may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Harraq during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Harraq at Trilliant Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Harraq and the team at Trilliant Dentistry 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. Harraq 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. Harraq?

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Harraq will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Harraq's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Harraq is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
