Dr. Ahmad-Reza Noroozi

As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Endodontics, Dr. Ahmad-Reza Noroozi addresses specific and often complex oral health conditions such as:

Cracked Teeth Endo

• Cracked Tooth Syndrome or Vertical Root Fractures Requiring Endodontic Evaluation: Symptoms such as sharp pain on biting or release, or intermittent pain, that may indicate a cracked tooth, potentially involving the pulp or root, requiring careful diagnostic testing and evaluation by an endodontist.

Complex Root Canal Needs

• Need for Complex Root Canal Retreatment or Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy): Seeking specialist endodontic care for difficult, previously treated, or anatomically complex root canal cases that are beyond the scope of general dental practice.

Abscessed Tooth Endo

• Acute or Chronic Dental Abscess of Endodontic Origin: Localized swelling, pain, and pus formation associated with a non-vital (dead) or previously root-canal-treated tooth, indicating an infection at the root tip that requires endodontic treatment or retreatment to resolve.

Complex Dental Diagnosis Needs

• Need for Detailed 3D Imaging for Diagnosis or Treatment Planning (CBCT): Dental situations where standard 2D X-rays (bitewings, panoramic) are insufficient and a 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan is required for accurate diagnosis, assessment of anatomical complexities, or detailed planning of complex treatments like implants, orthodontics, or endodontics.

This list offers some examples of conditions commonly addressed. A comprehensive diagnosis is always based on an individual assessment by Dr. Noroozi. If your specific oral health concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic to discuss your needs and appropriate treatment options.

• Complex Root Canal Therapy & Retreatment (Specialist Level): Specialized endodontic care for difficult cases to save natural teeth and eliminate infection or pain.
• Comprehensive Dental Examinations: In-depth examinations using diagnostic tools to evaluate your dental health and detect problems at their earliest stages.
• Oral Hygiene Instruction (Brushing & Flossing Techniques): Guidance on the best tools and methods for cleaning your teeth and gums thoroughly to prevent dental problems.
• Digital X-rays & Radiography (Intraoral & Extraoral): Comprehensive dental imaging services, including panoramic and intraoral X-rays, to aid in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Endodontics, Dr. Noroozi is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Lakeshore Oasis Dental, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• If a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Noroozi develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• If a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is preventing you from fully enjoying kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort or causing discomfort, Dr. Noroozi offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Noroozi when they first notice a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, enabling them to once again enjoy enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath without hesitation.
• When a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem, Dr. Noroozi and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak and a return to comfort and confidence.

Your specialized treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Noroozi, will be meticulously designed to address your unique concerns and help you reach your specific objectives within their area of expertise. Dr. Noroozi is committed to providing the highest standard of specialized care, tailored to your individual needs.

Why is it important to try and save a tooth with root canal treatment by an Endodontist like Dr. Noroozi, instead of just extracting it?

Saving a natural tooth with endodontic treatment by a specialist like Dr. Noroozi is usually the best option because it maintains natural chewing function, normal biting force, and natural appearance, and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, which can lead to other dental problems. Replacing an extracted tooth with a bridge or implant can be more complex and costly in the long run.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Lakeshore Oasis Dental.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Noroozi determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Noroozi will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Noroozi's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Noroozi at Lakeshore Oasis Dental?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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. Noroozi will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Typically, no referral is required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Lakeshore Oasis Dental directly.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Noroozi is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information. If Dr. Noroozi identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.
