At Oak Ridges North 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. Farahmand frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention is preventing you from fully enjoying replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile or causing discomfort, Dr. Farahmand offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr. Farahmand's comprehensive care for a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is meticulously designed to result in feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine without dental worries.
• For those affected by a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma, Dr. Farahmand provides solutions that lead to their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• Managing their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Farahmand and the dental team. The clear aim is always the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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 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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Oak Ridges North Dental Office.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Farahmand 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 for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Farahmand's specific recommendations.

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

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

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Farahmand 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Farahmand 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Farahmand may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Farahmand at Oak Ridges North Dental Office?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Farahmand will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
