At N/A, 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. Rad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr. Rad's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple is focused on achieving receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work without dental concerns.
• Patients experiencing needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Rad's practice, a key objective is their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• The journey from a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation to wellness often involves Dr. Rad's dedicated care. The milestone is their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, which opens the door back to activities such as simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.

This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rad at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Rad and the team at N/A will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Rad will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Rad 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).

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, 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 treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Rad 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), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Rad's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Rad.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Rad 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.
