At N/A, 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. Aghaei frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing is a primary concern, Dr. Aghaei focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection is a common journey for patients under Dr. Aghaei's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain become straightforward again.
• Effectively addressing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional with Dr. Aghaei's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort and social interactions.
• Managing an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Aghaei and the dental team. The clear aim is always their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Aghaei at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Aghaei 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. Aghaei 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Aghaei 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 treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Aghaei also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex dental needs.

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. 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 programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario and always verify your private dental insurance coverage details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Aghaei will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Aghaei's specific recommendations.

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

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

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Aghaei will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
