Complex Dental Diagnosis Needs

• Need for Detailed 3D Imaging for Diagnosis or Treatment Planning (CBCT): Dental situations where standard 2D X-rays (bitewings, panoramic) are insufficient and a 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan is required for accurate diagnosis, assessment of anatomical complexities, or detailed planning of complex treatments like implants, orthodontics, or endodontics.

Dental Implant Complications

• Complications with Existing Dental Implants (e.g., Peri-implantitis, Loosening, Fracture): Seeking expert diagnosis and management for failing or problematic dental implants to preserve their longevity or address complications effectively.

Periodontal Gum Disease Advanced

• Aggressive Forms of Periodontitis: Specialized care for aggressive types of periodontal infection that can lead to rapid tooth loss if not managed appropriately.
• Moderate to Severe Periodontitis (Gum Disease with Bone Loss): Advanced gum disease characterized by significant inflammation, deep periodontal pockets (spaces between teeth and gums), considerable loss of the bone supporting the teeth, gum recession, and potentially loose or shifting teeth, requiring specialist periodontal treatment to control the infection and prevent tooth loss.

Receding Gums Bone Loss

• Significant Gum Recession or Localized Jawbone Loss Requiring Augmentation: Noticeable and progressive gum recession exposing sensitive tooth roots, or insufficient jawbone volume in areas of missing teeth (often due to previous extractions or gum disease), requiring surgical grafting procedures (soft tissue grafts for gums, bone grafts for jawbone) by a periodontist or oral surgeon to restore tissue, improve aesthetics, facilitate implant placement, or prevent further deterioration.

This list offers some examples of conditions commonly addressed. A comprehensive diagnosis is always based on an individual assessment by Dr. Mohamed. If your specific oral health concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic to discuss your needs and appropriate treatment options.

• Comprehensive Periodontal Examination & Diagnosis: In-depth assessment of gum health, including measuring pocket depths, assessing bone loss via X-rays, evaluating gum recession, and diagnosing various forms of gingivitis and periodontitis.
• Surgical Periodontal Treatments (e.g., Pocket Reduction, Regenerative Procedures): Surgical interventions to access and clean deep periodontal pockets, repair damaged bone, and improve the long-term prognosis of teeth affected by advanced gum disease.
• Digital X-rays & Radiography (Intraoral & Extraoral): Comprehensive dental imaging services, including panoramic and intraoral X-rays, to aid in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
• Understanding Your Dental Treatment Plan: Ensuring you fully understand your dental care plan and have all your questions answered before proceeding with any treatment, fostering informed consent.

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. Mohamed 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 verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Alliance Dental Specialists directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Mohamed.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mohamed at Alliance Dental Specialists?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Mohamed and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Mohamed will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Mohamed will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., those managing active gum disease may need more frequent visits). Follow Dr. Mohamed's specific recommendation.
