At Downsview Park Dental Clinic, 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. Nazar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow at Dr. Nazar's practice is consistently achieving experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Are you struggling with experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth? Dr. Nazar partners with patients to target their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions a much more achievable reality.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time, involves working systematically towards a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. Dr. Nazar expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• For individuals troubled by a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite, Dr. Nazar's approach is focused on delivering their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection with a healthier smile.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Nazar 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 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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment at Downsview Park Dental Clinic.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nazar at Downsview Park Dental Clinic?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Nazar and the team at Downsview Park Dental Clinic 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. Nazar 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. Nazar for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Nazar will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Always follow Dr. Nazar's specific recommendation.

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