At Dundas Smiles Dentistry, 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. Radpour frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Radpour's practice, a key objective is their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.
• For patients where needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain is a primary concern, Dr. Radpour focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Radpour to see patients who were troubled by feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning successfully achieve their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Managing feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Radpour and the dental team. The clear aim is always successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Radpour, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall wellness objectives.

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 Dundas Smiles Dentistry.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Radpour determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Radpour 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. Radpour's specific recommendation.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Radpour for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Dundas Smiles Dentistry.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Radpour at Dundas Smiles Dentistry?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Radpour will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
