Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Gholizadeh in Thornhill

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Gholizadeh 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. Gholizadeh?
No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Gholizadeh for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.
What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?
Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. Gholizadeh can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Gholizadeh can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.
What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Gholizadeh typically provide?
A General Dentist like Dr. Gholizadeh 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. Gholizadeh at N/A?
At your initial appointment, Dr. Gholizadeh and the team at N/A 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. Gholizadeh will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Gholizadeh for a check-up and cleaning?
For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Gholizadeh 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). Following Dr. Gholizadeh's specific recommendation is essential.
Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
In ON, 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
