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 provided by 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Pearson Dental.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Pearson Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Rayes.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Rayes is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Rayes identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rayes at Pearson Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Rayes and the team at Pearson Dental 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 you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Rayes will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Rayes will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits might be needed if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Rayes's specific recommendation.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Rayes will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
