However, Dr. Moghadam will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions.

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 for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Moghadam determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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 in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-provided), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Moghadam at King West Dentistry?

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