At Marble 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. Safarinia frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection to wellness often involves Dr. Safarinia's dedicated care. The milestone is the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, which opens the door back to activities such as their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Safarinia when they first notice a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, enabling them to once again enjoy confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions without hesitation.
• If experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits has unfortunately put confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Safarinia works closely with patients towards attaining their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• For those affected by a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own, Dr. Safarinia provides solutions that lead to their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Safarinia, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Safarinia and the team at Marble Dental Centre will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Safarinia will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Marble Dental Centre.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Safarinia 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.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Safarinia offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Safarinia focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr. Safarinia will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). Following Dr. Safarinia's specific recommendation is essential.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Safarinia 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).

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

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