At Yazdani Family Dentistry, 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. Desai frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Desai's practice, a key objective is feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Effectively addressing experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits with Dr. Desai's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain and social interactions.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them is a common journey for patients under Dr. Desai's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, so that daily routines and pleasures like their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health become straightforward again.
• For those affected by wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth, Dr. Desai provides solutions that lead to their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Desai will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Desai's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Desai is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for all ages. This includes preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Desai also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and will refer you to specialists for more complex needs, and may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Desai at Yazdani Family Dentistry?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination. This involves reviewing 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. Desai will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent one.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Desai will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following 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 in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, you don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Desai for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Yazdani Family Dentistry.
