At Weston Dental Office, 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. Razi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy), Dr. Razi's approach is focused on delivering their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort with a healthier smile.
• With Dr. Razi's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly is focused on achieving achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects without dental concerns.
• For those affected by a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces, Dr. Razi provides solutions that lead to their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.
• Dr. Razi provides dedicated support for patients going through wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation, always aiming for positive outcomes like achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.

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). It is recommended to verify any potential public coverage you might 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 Weston Dental Office.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Razi help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Razi can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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. Razi 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).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Razi 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). Following Dr. Razi's specific recommendation is important.

Does Weston Dental Office offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Razi at Weston Dental Office?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Razi and the team at Weston Dental Office 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. Razi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Razi 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.
