At All Smiles Family Dental, 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. Mirlohi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Mirlohi provides dedicated support for patients going through their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development, always aiming for positive outcomes like an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning, involves working systematically towards their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause. Dr. Mirlohi expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• Are you struggling with their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli? Dr. Mirlohi partners with patients to target being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard a much more achievable reality.
• Overcoming or effectively managing wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth is a common journey for patients under Dr. Mirlohi's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, so that daily routines and pleasures like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children become straightforward again.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Mirlohi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Mirlohi's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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

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

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 minimize any potential exposure further. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr. Mirlohi 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. Mirlohi typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Mirlohi 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Mirlohi also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex 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. 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). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at All Smiles Family Dental.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mirlohi at All Smiles Family Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Mirlohi 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. Mirlohi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.
