At Trilliant Dentistry, 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. Mahmoud frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Mahmoud provides dedicated support for patients going through their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling, always aiming for positive outcomes like their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching, Dr. Mahmoud offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• When a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Mahmoud helps patients strive for achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This makes participating in activities such as feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Managing a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Mahmoud and the dental team. The clear aim is always their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Trilliant Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Mahmoud.

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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Trilliant Dentistry.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Mahmoud will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mahmoud at Trilliant Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Mahmoud will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Mahmoud will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Mahmoud will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Mahmoud's specific recommendations.
