At Ansarian Dental Clinic, 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. Ansarian frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening, Dr. Ansarian provides solutions that lead to a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• If their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is preventing you from fully enjoying knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage or causing discomfort, Dr. Ansarian offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• When an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile, Dr. Ansarian and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) has unfortunately put no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Ansarian works closely with patients towards attaining their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ansarian at Ansarian Dental Clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Ansarian 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. Ansarian will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is 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. Ansarian for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Ansarian will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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. Ansarian's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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 to minimize any potential 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. Ansarian 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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. 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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Ansarian Dental Clinic.
