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. Kazman frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Kazman's practice, a key objective is their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Dr. Kazman provides dedicated support for patients going through needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect, always aiming for positive outcomes like a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow, Dr. Kazman offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.

This makes participating in activities such as enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kazman 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 include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

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 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 is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at N/A.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Kazman will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for most patients. However, Dr. Kazman 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 might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Kazman's specific recommendation.

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

At your first appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form and discuss any dental concerns or goals. Dr. Kazman will then perform a detailed examination of your mouth, and digital X-rays may be taken. Based on this, Dr. Kazman will explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
