At N/A, 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. El-Mohamad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. El-Mohamad develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection, Dr. El-Mohamad offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.
• A key objective when treating a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food at Dr. El-Mohamad's welcoming dental clinic is achieving achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• Patients experiencing a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. El-Mohamad's practice, a key objective is their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.

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

Your first visit with Dr. El-Mohamad will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes 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. El-Mohamad will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. El-Mohamad 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).

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. El-Mohamad?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. El-Mohamad.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. El-Mohamad will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. El-Mohamad's specific recommendation.

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). You should verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at N/A.

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

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. El-Mohamad. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50-$100. Please contact the clinic for specific fee information. We appreciate your cooperation.
