At Oaktree 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. Al-Hamami frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer, Dr. Al-Hamami outlines a path to the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• Dr. Al-Hamami expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.
• For patients where a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients is a primary concern, Dr. Al-Hamami focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• Managing a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Al-Hamami and the dental team. The clear aim is always experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Al-Hamami will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Al-Hamami's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 by OHIP. 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). Patients should verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check their private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Oaktree Dental Centre.

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. Al-Hamami 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Oaktree Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Al-Hamami.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Al-Hamami at Oaktree Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Al-Hamami will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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-Hamami will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
