• If wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Said develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Said when they first notice a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, enabling them to once again enjoy enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile without hesitation.
• Understanding the frustration an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching can cause, Dr. Said tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, allowing for renewed participation in activities like maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. Said can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Said can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Said 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. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Said at The Dental Lounge?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Said and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Said 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. Said?

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Said will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Said's specific recommendation.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Said help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Said can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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. Dr. Said 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).
