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

X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Aliakbarrad determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of MK Dental's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing due to swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital ER or call 911.

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 in private clinics. Some limited hospital-based dental surgeries might be covered.
