At Brampton North Dental Office, 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. Rahimi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Rahimi when they first notice persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures without hesitation.
• For individuals troubled by their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli, Dr. Rahimi's approach is focused on delivering their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work with a healthier smile.
• Patients presenting with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option under Dr. Rahimi's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Patients experiencing an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Rahimi's practice, a key objective is a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Rahimi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Rahimi 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. Rahimi for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, most patients benefit from check-ups and cleanings every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Rahimi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients might 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 essential to follow Dr. Rahimi's specific recommendations.

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. 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. Rahimi 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 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). It is important 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.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rahimi at Brampton North Dental Office?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Rahimi and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Based on this, Dr. Rahimi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You are welcome to contact Brampton North Dental Office directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Rahimi.
