What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Al-Janabi typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Al-Janabi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Al-Janabi also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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

Yes, Dr. Al-Janabi understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Spring Dentistry may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Al-Janabi during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Al-Janabi?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Spring Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Al-Janabi.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Al-Janabi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Following Dr. Al-Janabi's specific recommendation is essential.

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. Dr. Al-Janabi 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 payment options are available at Spring Dentistry for dental services?

Payment is typically due at the time services are provided. Spring Dentistry accepts cash, debit, Visa, and MasterCard. We are also experienced in handling claims for most private dental insurance plans. For details on payment plans for larger treatments, please speak with our administrative staff.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Al-Janabi at Spring Dentistry?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Al-Janabi will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
