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. Sanei frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury has unfortunately put maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Sanei works closely with patients towards attaining gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr. Sanei often consults with patients whose their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care significantly limits their enjoyment of concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Sanei when they first notice their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, enabling them to once again enjoy their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments without hesitation.
• Dr. Sanei expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.

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

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sanei 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. Sanei for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Sanei will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any 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). It is important to follow Dr. Sanei's specific recommendation.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Sanei and the team at N/A 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. Sanei 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). It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at N/A.

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

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