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

A General Dentist like Dr. Sabri 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). Dr. Sabri also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sabri 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).

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

Yes, Dr. Sabri understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Nia Dental Studio offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Sabri during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Sabri will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Sabri for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Nia Dental Studio.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sabri at Nia Dental Studio?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth and gums, and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Sabri will discuss their findings and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A cleaning may also be performed.

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 or through private dental insurance. Check your insurance coverage and eligibility for any government assistance programs before treatment.
