At Great Lakes Dental Care, 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. Ayoub frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr. Ayoub's clinic, addressing concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches means focusing on patient goals. Achieving understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• The journey from experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth to wellness often involves Dr. Ayoub's dedicated care. The milestone is a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, which opens the door back to activities such as attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• When a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Ayoub helps patients strive for a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism. This makes participating in activities such as easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Ayoub will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Ayoub's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ayoub at Great Lakes Dental Care?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Ayoub and the team at Great Lakes Dental Care 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. Ayoub 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. Ayoub typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Ayoub is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding (if offered). Dr. Ayoub also provides education on proper oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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. Ayoub 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 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Great Lakes Dental Care.
