At Aurora E&E 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. Esfandiari frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Esfandiari helps patients strive for their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment. This makes participating in activities such as laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Patients presenting with a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment under Dr. Esfandiari's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage without the former limitations or discomfort.
• With Dr. Esfandiari's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is focused on achieving their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity without dental concerns.
• When a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day, Dr. Esfandiari and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health and a return to comfort and confidence.

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. 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. Esfandiari 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).

A General Dentist like Dr. Esfandiari 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). Dr. Esfandiari also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Esfandiari may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at Aurora E&E Dentistry.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Esfandiari at Aurora E&E Dentistry?

Your first visit 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. Esfandiari will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Esfandiari will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Esfandiari's specific recommendation.
