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. Dibadin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods at Dr. Dibadin's practice is consistently achieving their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Dibadin when they first notice needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them without hesitation.
• If their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Dibadin develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.
• Effectively addressing a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable with Dr. Dibadin's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity and social interactions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Dibadin for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Dibadin 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Dibadin may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Dibadin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and 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's crucial to follow Dr. Dibadin'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 always 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. Dibadin 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).

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Dibadin and the team at N/A 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. Dibadin will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 (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 before treatment.

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

Yes, Dr. Dibadin understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, N/A offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and potentially IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Dibadin during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
