At Smile Dental 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. Bebawy frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling with Dr. Bebawy's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and social interactions.
• Are you struggling with their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development? Dr. Bebawy partners with patients to target the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care a much more achievable reality.
• When a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Bebawy helps patients strive for having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities. This makes participating in activities such as travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies a pleasant and possible experience again.
• 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 gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options. Dr. Bebawy expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Bebawy, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Bebawy 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. Bebawy for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Bebawy will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Bebawy's specific recommendations.

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

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

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 only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bebawy will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (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. 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 groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to check your eligibility for any public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bebawy at Smile Dental Centre?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Bebawy, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Bebawy will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions.
