• For patients where their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is a primary concern, Dr. Abbas focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.
• Understanding the frustration wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances can cause, Dr. Abbas tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques, allowing for renewed participation in activities like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• Dr. Abbas often consults with patients whose concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly significantly limits their enjoyment of singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

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

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Abbas 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Abbas 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 visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Abbas's specific recommendation.

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 provided by 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Charisma Dental Clinic.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Abbas at Charisma Dental Clinic?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Abbas and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Abbas will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.
