At Metro City Dentistry Brampton, 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. Yakhmi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr. Yakhmi with concerns about a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, making a positive and lasting return to their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them not just possible, but highly feasible.
• When a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Yakhmi helps patients strive for their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This makes participating in activities such as feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Managing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Yakhmi and the dental team. The clear aim is always their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For individuals troubled by having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard, Dr. Yakhmi's approach is focused on delivering the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care with a healthier smile.

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

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Yakhmi offer any sedation options?

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 check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before treatment at Metro City Dentistry Brampton.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Yakhmi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Yakhmi may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care is recommended for most patients. Dr. Yakhmi will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Yakhmi's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yakhmi at Metro City Dentistry Brampton?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Yakhmi will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay). Dr. Yakhmi will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
