General Dentistry

Serving Kanata, Stittsville and Ottawa, Ontario

While Dr. Ami Barakat is well known for his talent and passion as an Ottawa cosmetic dentist, his dedication to dental health extends to other branches as well. Dr. Barakat and his team at Dentistry at Main understand that whole tooth health is as important as having a beautiful smile, and more often than not it directly contributes to or detracts from the beauty of your smile.

Dr. Barakat offers general dentistry solutions to individuals of all ages, and his philosophy on family dentistry has made him the dentist of choice for many families in the Stittsville, Kanata and Ottawa areas.

General Dentistry for Kids

Because it is important to care of your teeth from a young age, Dr. Barakat and his team offer a variety of dentistry services for children. We use laser dental technology to remove cavities, which usually means no need for shots and very little discomfort, if any.

We welcome children as young as 12 months of age, and help make their experience enjoyable by recommending:

• Regular checkups as soon as teeth become visible
• Avoiding mentioning the words “pain” and “fear” to your kids
• Explaining to your children the importance of tooth care
• Addressing tooth aches and loose teeth immediately to avoid complications
• Assuring your children that the dentist is there to help them remain healthy and happy

Patients who have come to us for general dentistry often return with their children and make Dentistry at Main the dentistry office for their entire family.

General Dentistry for Adults

As you are probably aware, there is more to good dental hygiene than just brushing your teeth. We offer dental cleanings and periodontal services for patients who want to protect and repair their teeth. General dentistry and cosmetic dentistry go hand in hand, and Dentistry at Main offers the best of both to you, our patients.

General Dentistry for Elderly

Dentistry and oral health do not end when you retire, and as you continue living life to the fullest, you should be aware that your teeth and gums will need more attention, not less, as you age. The reduction of saliva and difficulty cleaning your teeth make it more important now than ever to be visiting your dentist on a regular basis for cleanings and checkups.

You should also avoid letting a toothache or damaged tooth languish unattended. Being proactive and getting attention for your damaged and weakened teeth can help prevent eventual tooth loss and gum disease which may negatively impact your overall general health.
