At Dr. S. Hoffman & Associates, 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. Saad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Saad's comprehensive care for a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close is meticulously designed to result in the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle without dental worries.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Saad about their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is to attain no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
• Are you struggling with feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth? Dr. Saad partners with patients to target their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine a much more achievable reality.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Saad when they first notice their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral). Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, enabling them to once again enjoy their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Saad, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Saad will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions.

Dr. Saad also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer you to specialists for more complex needs. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, or planning complex treatments). Dr. Saad will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Saad offer any sedation options?

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

In Ontario, OHIP typically does not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospital settings might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans. Eligible individuals may access government assistance programs (e.g., Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify your coverage and insurance details before treatment.
