Complex Dental Diagnosis Needs

• Need for Detailed 3D Imaging for Diagnosis or Treatment Planning (CBCT): Complex dental cases that significantly benefit from the superior diagnostic information and precise measurements provided by CBCT scans for optimal treatment outcomes.

Impacted Teeth Assessment

• Concerns about Impacted or Unerupted Teeth (e.g., Wisdom Teeth, Canines): Experiencing symptoms like pain, swelling, infection, or pressure related to teeth (most commonly wisdom teeth, but also canines or other teeth) that have not fully erupted through the gums or are stuck (impacted) within the jawbone.

• Dental Bridges (Fixed Partial Dentures): Replacing one or more missing teeth with a fixed (non-removable) dental bridge, typically anchored to adjacent natural teeth (abutments) or dental implants, to restore chewing function, maintain tooth alignment, and improve smile aesthetics.
• Restoration of Dental Implants (Custom Crowns, Bridges, Dentures): Attaching custom-fabricated, aesthetically matched crowns, bridges, or dentures securely onto previously placed and integrated dental implants to complete the tooth replacement process and restore full function.
• Simple Tooth Extractions (Non-Surgical): Routine removal of teeth that are severely decayed, extensively damaged beyond restoration, very mobile due to advanced gum disease, or for orthodontic purposes, performed under local anesthesia when the tooth is fully erupted and easily accessible.
• Oral Cancer Screening: Regular visual and tactile screening of the mouth, lips, tongue, and throat to detect any early signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions.

At Bramalea Oral Surgery, 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. Manji frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Manji about needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth is to attain achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Manji to see patients who were troubled by noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity successfully achieve transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Manji when they first notice a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort without hesitation.
• Patients experiencing their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Manji's practice, a key objective is experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Manji, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Manji is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Manji at Bramalea Oral Surgery?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Manji and the team at Bramalea Oral Surgery 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. Manji will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great 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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Manji 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 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 through 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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Manji will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, 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. Manji's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Bramalea Oral Surgery directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Manji.
