At Westoak Dental Centre, 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. Sayyab frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Sayyab's practice, a key objective is the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• A key objective when treating their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening at Dr. Sayyab's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• Dr. Sayyab often consults with patients whose a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them significantly limits their enjoyment of easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Sayyab about having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard is to attain feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Sayyab, 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. Sayyab typically provide?

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

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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr. Sayyab will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sayyab at Westoak Dental Centre?

Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Sayyab 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. Sayyab for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Sayyab will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Sayyab's specific recommendation.
