At Tremaine Dental and Medical 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. Hamdan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider, Dr. Hamdan outlines a path to their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• Managing looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Hamdan and the dental team. The clear aim is always their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• When a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Hamdan helps patients strive for their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This makes participating in activities such as delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance a pleasant and possible experience again.
• For those affected by their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing, Dr. Hamdan provides solutions that lead to clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Hamdan, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Hamdan is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Hamdan will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing dental conditions. For example, patients with active gum disease or a high risk of cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while those with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Hamdan's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Hamdan will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hamdan at Tremaine Dental and Medical Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Hamdan and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Hamdan will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's an excellent opportunity to ask questions.

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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hamdan provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists when needed. Dr. Hamdan may also offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Hamdan?

No, a referral is not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact Tremaine Dental and Medical Centre directly to book your visit with Dr. Hamdan.
