However, Dr. Bitaraf will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions.

- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Bitaraf typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Bitaraf is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including 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 offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding).

Dr. Bitaraf will then explain their assessment and recommend treatments. It's a great time 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 NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage before treatment.
- Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
- Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bitaraf will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
