• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients, Dr. Zangooei offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Zangooei about a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively is to attain their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• For individuals troubled by a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about, Dr. Zangooei's approach is focused on delivering their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort with a healthier smile.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Atlantis Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Zangooei.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for optimal preventative care. However, Dr. Zangooei 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 require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's crucial to follow Dr. Zangooei's specific recommendation for your individual needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Zangooei at Atlantis Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Zangooei 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. Zangooei 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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Zangooei 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).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Zangooei offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Zangooei understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Atlantis Dental Centre offers various sedation options, which may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Zangooei during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Zangooei typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Zangooei 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. Dr. Zangooei may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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). Always verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Atlantis Dental Centre.
