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

A General Dentist like Dr. Rahman is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care such as check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Restorative treatments encompass fillings, crowns, bridges, and basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth). Dr. Rahman also performs simple extractions and provides initial management of gum disease. Cosmetic procedures, like whitening or bonding, may also be offered. Furthermore, Dr. Rahman educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Rahman will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need visits every 3-4 months, while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Rahman's specific recommendations.

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

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

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, 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 verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rahman at N/A?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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. Rahman will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to see a general dentist. You can contact N/A directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Rahman.

What is N/A's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, please provide at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. 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.

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. Rahman will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
