At Broadway 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. Abdool frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear with Dr. Abdool's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and social interactions.
• Dr. Abdool often consults with patients whose a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• The journey from having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard to wellness often involves Dr. Abdool's dedicated care. The milestone is their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, which opens the door back to activities such as confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Abdool to see patients who were troubled by an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath successfully achieve experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Abdool 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. Abdool for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Abdool will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Abdool's specific recommendation.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Abdool 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. Abdool 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.

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

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

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, 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 Broadway Dental Centre.
