Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Burgaz in Toronto
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Burgaz?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Bond Street Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Burgaz.
- 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.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Burgaz at Bond Street Dental?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Burgaz and the team at Bond Street 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. Burgaz will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

- 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).
