At N/A, 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. Khajetoorian frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration under Dr. Khajetoorian's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile without the former limitations or discomfort.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Khajetoorian to see patients who were troubled by a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment successfully achieve successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• Dr. Khajetoorian often consults with patients whose their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider significantly limits their enjoyment of laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• When a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Khajetoorian helps patients strive for their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This makes participating in activities such as enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Khajetoorian at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Khajetoorian 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. Khajetoorian 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.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Khajetoorian 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 may 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 between visits. It is important to follow Dr. Khajetoorian's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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. Khajetoorian 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. Khajetoorian?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Khajetoorian.

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. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). We strongly advise patients to verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and to always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at N/A.
