At Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, 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. Abbasi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Through Dr. Abbasi's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite often find they can readily achieve their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• If a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection has unfortunately put their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Abbasi works closely with patients towards attaining their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr. Abbasi understands that dealing with needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, helping patients comfortably get back to attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped and feeling their best.
• When an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Abbasi helps patients strive for their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies. This makes participating in activities such as feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos a pleasant and possible experience again.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Abbasi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Abbasi is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Abbasi at Family and Cosmetic Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Abbasi 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. Abbasi 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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Abbasi 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Abbasi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Abbasi's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Abbasi 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 (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Family and Cosmetic Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Abbasi.

Does Family and Cosmetic Dentistry offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.
