Complex Dental Diagnosis Needs

At Britannia 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. Sorial frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence? Dr. Sorial partners with patients to target their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought a much more achievable reality.
• The journey from an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing to wellness often involves Dr. Sorial's dedicated care. The milestone is their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Sorial with concerns about a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, making a positive and lasting return to their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain not just possible, but highly feasible.
• If their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) is preventing you from fully enjoying no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking or causing discomfort, Dr. Sorial offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Sorial, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Sorial 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, dentures), 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. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Sorial may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Sorial for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Britannia 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 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Britannia Dental Centre.

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

At your first appointment, Dr. Sorial and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Sorial will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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 detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sorial will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Sorial will personalize your schedule based on your oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., those with active gum disease or high caries risk may need more frequent visits). Follow Dr. Sorial's specific recommendations.
