• A key objective when treating a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially at Dr. Sukarieh's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Sukarieh will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Sukarieh's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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). We strongly advise patients to verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and to always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Altima Morrisburg Dental Centre.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sukarieh at Altima Morrisburg Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Sukarieh and the team at Altima Morrisburg Dental Centre will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Sukarieh will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Altima Morrisburg Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Sukarieh.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sukarieh 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).
