At A.F. Dental, 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. Bayegan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Bayegan helps patients strive for their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This makes participating in activities such as their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Patients experiencing a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Bayegan's practice, a key objective is their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Dr. Bayegan understands that dealing with a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, helping patients comfortably get back to their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits and feeling their best.
• When patients discuss feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth, Dr. Bayegan outlines a path to the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Bayegan is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services. This includes preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Bayegan also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Bayegan may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Dental offers various sedation options, which may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation.

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 only taken when necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Bayegan will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bayegan at A.F. Dental?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Bayegan, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Bayegan will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, OHIP typically does not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals may be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often through employers), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (like children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.
