At Rose Dental Clinic, 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. Nabavi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Nabavi helps patients strive for a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This makes participating in activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care a pleasant and possible experience again.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly, involves working systematically towards achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. Dr. Nabavi expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent at Dr. Nabavi's practice is consistently achieving an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Are you struggling with their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth? Dr. Nabavi partners with patients to target their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain a much more achievable reality.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Nabavi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Nabavi is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Nabavi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Nabavi's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nabavi at Rose Dental Clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Nabavi 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. Nabavi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Nabavi 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).

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). It is advisable to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Rose Dental Clinic.

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

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