• Dental Abscess (Localized Infection): Urgent care for dental abscesses to alleviate severe discomfort and prevent serious complications.

Extensive Dental Treatment Needs

• Requiring Multiple or Lengthy Dental Procedures: Needing several dental treatments, complex procedures, or a particularly long single procedure, for which sedation might be beneficial for patient comfort, cooperation, and treatment efficiency.

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

• Surgical Extractions (Less Complex Cases - e.g., Sectioning, Erupted Wisdom Teeth): Extraction of teeth that are not straightforward to remove due to their position, root morphology, or condition, performed within the scope of general dental practice and comfort level.
• Professional Teeth Cleaning (Prophylaxis): Professional hygiene treatments to keep your oral health in optimal condition and prevent future dental problems.
• Simple Tooth Extractions (Non-Surgical): Routine removal of teeth that are severely decayed, extensively damaged beyond restoration, very mobile due to advanced gum disease, or for orthodontic purposes, performed under local anesthesia when the tooth is fully erupted and easily accessible.
• Oral Conscious Sedation (Anxiolysis): A commonly used sedation option for patients with moderate dental fear or anxiety, allowing them to remain conscious and able to respond to verbal cues but feel deeply relaxed and often have little memory of the procedure.
• Intravenous (IV) Sedation (Moderate or 'Twilight' Sedation - If Certified): A highly effective and predictable sedation technique for achieving profound relaxation and anxiety control during various dental treatments, ensuring patient comfort and cooperation.

At Rossland Landing Dental Care, 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. Kazi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity under Dr. Kazi's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile without the former limitations or discomfort.
• For those affected by wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant, Dr. Kazi provides solutions that lead to an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• When a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort, Dr. Kazi and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Dr. Kazi understands that dealing with recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, helping patients comfortably get back to laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth and feeling their best.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kazi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Kazi also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Kazi for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Rossland Landing Dental Care.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kazi at Rossland Landing Dental Care?

Your first visit with Dr. Kazi 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. Kazi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Kazi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., 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. Kazi's specific recommendations.

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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Rossland Landing Dental Care.
