• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Golabchifar to see patients who were troubled by experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease successfully achieve their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations.

• Understanding the frustration a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients can cause, Dr. Golabchifar tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, allowing for renewed participation in activities like maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.

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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Empress Walk Dental.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Empress Walk Dental directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Golabchifar.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Golabchifar determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Golabchifar at Empress Walk Dental?

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

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

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