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

A General Dentist like Dr. Salyani is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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 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 provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Salyani will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

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

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Salyani, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Salyani will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Salyani will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have longer intervals. Follow Dr. Salyani's specific recommendations.
