At Downsview 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. Nezami frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture is a primary concern, Dr. Nezami focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover.

Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Nezami will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Nezami during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Nezami for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Downsview Dental.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Nezami will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr. Nezami's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Nezami 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Nezami may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Nezami 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).
