At your initial appointment, Dr. Hossein and the team at Bay Wellesley Dental 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. Hossein will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hossein 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). Dr. Hossein also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Hossein for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Bay Wellesley Dental.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Hossein 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).

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Hossein is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Hossein identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Hossein will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Hossein's specific recommendation.

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

Yes, Dr. Hossein understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Bay Wellesley Dental may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Hossein during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
