At Fremont village dental, 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. Hassanahangari frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Hassanahangari when they first notice their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, enabling them to once again enjoy waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding without hesitation.
• If a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems has unfortunately put their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Hassanahangari works closely with patients towards attaining receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Hassanahangari to see patients who were troubled by a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal successfully achieve having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Are you struggling with a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces? Dr. Hassanahangari partners with patients to target feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort a much more achievable reality.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Hassanahangari, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hassanahangari 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 offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Hassanahangari also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Hassanahangari 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hassanahangari at Fremont village dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Hassanahangari will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Hassanahangari will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Hassanahangari will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Hassanahangari's specific recommendations.

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

No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Fremont village dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Hassanahangari.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In BC, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, 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 important to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
