This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Neghab 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Neghab also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Neghab at Morningside Dental Care?

Your first visit with Dr. Neghab 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. Neghab 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.

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 programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario and the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Neghab offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Neghab understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Morningside Dental Care offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Neghab during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

What is Morningside Dental Care's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Neghab.

We appreciate your cooperation.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Neghab will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Neghab will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits.
