At Brittany Dental Centre, 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. Wanis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history is a common journey for patients under Dr. Wanis's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth become straightforward again.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Wanis with concerns about waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, making a positive and lasting return to being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures not just possible, but highly feasible.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma at Dr. Wanis's practice is consistently achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Wanis about a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is to attain their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Wanis, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Wanis 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 from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Wanis. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Wanis identifies a need for specialist care,  they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Wanis at Brittany Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Wanis 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. Wanis will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Wanis will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Wanis'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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Brittany Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Wanis.

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. 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. Wanis 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Wanis 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
