At Family Dentistry At Picton, 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. Yaghoubian frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation has unfortunately put being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Yaghoubian works closely with patients towards attaining receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

Dr. Yaghoubian partners with patients to target the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work a much more achievable reality.
• If a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Yaghoubian develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.

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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Family Dentistry At Picton.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Family Dentistry At Picton directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Yaghoubian.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yaghoubian at Family Dentistry At Picton?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Yaghoubian and the team at Family Dentistry At Picton will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Yaghoubian will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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. Yaghoubian 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Yaghoubian will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Yaghoubian's specific recommendation.
