At Central Oakville Dental Care, 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. Hathiari frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional, Dr. Hathiari's approach is focused on delivering achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post with a healthier smile.
• If their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli has unfortunately put being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Hathiari works closely with patients towards attaining their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options, involves working systematically towards their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease.

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 programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Central Oakville Dental Care.

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

Yes, Dr. Hathiari understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Central Oakville Dental Care may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Hathiari during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
