• Through Dr. El-Khoury's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation often find they can readily achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.
• If a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider has unfortunately put feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. El-Khoury works closely with patients towards attaining their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem become straightforward again.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. El-Khoury at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. El-Khoury and the team at N/A 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. El-Khoury will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families through Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. El-Khoury 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have longer intervals. Following Dr. El-Khoury's specific recommendation is essential.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. El-Khoury?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. El-Khoury.

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 for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. El-Khoury will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
