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

Dr. Boulos also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What is My Smile Dentistry on Queen's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Boulos.

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. Boulos 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. Boulos?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact My Smile Dentistry on Queen directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Boulos.

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

Generally, we recommend every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Boulos 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Please follow Dr. Boulos's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Boulos at My Smile Dentistry on Queen?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Boulos and the team at My Smile Dentistry on Queen 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. Boulos 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
