At Speers Dental Centre, 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. Mofrad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them, Dr. Mofrad and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation and a return to comfort and confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age, involves working systematically towards transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. Dr. Mofrad expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• Overcoming or effectively managing experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple is a common journey for patients under Dr. Mofrad's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, so that daily routines and pleasures like being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures become straightforward again.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development at Dr. Mofrad's practice is consistently achieving receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Mofrad, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Mofrad 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. Mofrad for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Mofrad 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Mofrad's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

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

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 provided by 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Speers Dental Centre.

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. Mofrad 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Mofrad is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include 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. Mofrad also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Your first visit will 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. Mofrad will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
