At olympic village dental, 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. Nazemi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Nazemi often consults with patients whose experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Through Dr. Nazemi's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns often find they can readily achieve feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• A key objective when treating feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals at Dr. Nazemi's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to at Dr. Nazemi's practice is consistently achieving their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.

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

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 used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Nazemi 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact olympic village dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Nazemi.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Nazemi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nazemi at olympic village dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Nazemi 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. Nazemi 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.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In BC, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Nazemi promptly.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Nazemi will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Nazemi's specific recommendation.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Nazemi help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Nazemi can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.
