At N/A, 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. Khan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them is a common journey for patients under Dr. Khan's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work become straightforward again.
• Through Dr. Khan's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence often find they can readily achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Khan with concerns about their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, making a positive and lasting return to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Dr. Khan's comprehensive care for an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching is meticulously designed to result in gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern without dental worries.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Khan 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Khan also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Khan 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).

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 specific, 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 through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Dr. Khan and our team at N/A are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr. Khan. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Khan will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Khan's specific recommendations.

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

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. Khan.

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

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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. Khan will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
