At Rose City Dental, 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. Iskandar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is a primary concern, Dr. Iskandar focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• For those affected by their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach, Dr. Iskandar provides solutions that lead to their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
• If an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention has unfortunately put no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Iskandar works closely with patients towards attaining their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr. Iskandar provides dedicated support for patients going through a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close, always aiming for positive outcomes like their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Iskandar 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). Dr. Iskandar also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Iskandar at Rose City Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Iskandar and the team at Rose City 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. Iskandar will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Rose City Dental's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Rose City Dental’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (510) 252-5444. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr. Iskandar or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Windsor area.

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

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

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. Iskandar 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).

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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. Dr. Iskandar will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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. Iskandar's specific recommendation.
